Sobre IBD

Jeremiah Barrows had his vision of a perfect communty in East Central Indiana where people helped and respected each other. Josh Connor and his wife Granny wanted a place to work and acceptance for their deaf mute son. His in-laws sent former actor Ezra Tucker with Barrows to hearing about his womanizing scandals. Brother Samuels shouldered the responsibility this new flock through the Pearly Gates. But the townsmen were not the only ones with vision in the 1870’s and 80’s. Dorcas Tucker and one of her daughters worked to improve the status of women. Pete Higgins fought for respect toward his family of farmers. Young Seth Harmon saw power and money in his future while his farmer contemporary Abe Dawson wanted to inspire others. Another light-hearted exploration of Indiana, its people and problems by the the author of From the Cornfield Ghetto, a collection of short stories and novellas published in 2006.
