Casting Stones

A simple error in judgment leaves James Raven a broken man. He goes back home seeking solace, only to find more sorrow – and Esther Barton, his father's hired girl – a woman he holds in contempt.

His child, now in the care of the one he had scorned, suffers at the hands of the woman he judged unacceptable. She now judges him.

Their salvation ends with blood on their hands, and they must bury their sins, deep in the Loess Hills of Missouri.
