    About this ebook

    These poems and short stories intersect the experience
    of living in rural America with the struggles and doubts
    of coming to faith in an age of skepticism and doubt.
    Having to deal with common, often mundane chores,
    brings moments of understanding and clarity. In contrast,
    having to deal with the frailties of human nature can often
    muddy the waters.
