An adventurous and precocious boy, Jess Hall is very protective of his older brother, Christopher, a mute whom everyone calls Stump. Though their mother has warned them not to snoop on grown-ups, Stump can't help sneaking a look at something he's not supposed to — an act that will have catastrophic repercussions, shattering both his world and Jess's.
It's a wrenching event that thrusts Jess into an adulthood for which he's not prepared. While there is much about the world that still confuses him, he now knows that this new understanding can bring evil — and the possibility of deliverance.
A Land More Kind Than Home is a haunting tale of courage in the face of cruelty and the power of love to overcome the darkness that lives in us all. Wiley Cash's electrifying literary thriller about the bond between two brothers and the evil they face in their small western North Carolina town is stunning.
