Inhaltsangabe

"Broughman has created an American epic, a grand story that stretches across land and water, time and race, gender and religion. ... as characters go off to war, flee to cities, and escape the terrors of slavery, we encounter the awesome forces of mercy, hope, even forgiveness. Broughman's prose sweeps from achingly tender to brutal and bare-knuckled, his prowess managing multiple voices and tensions. ...brazenly beautiful writing."

-John Mauk, author of Field Notes for the Earthbound

In the heart of 1841 Midwest lies Bellwether, with its cobblestone streets and whispered secrets Here a mother and daughter fight against abandonment and starvation, defying the harsh reality that seeks to crush them both. But this resilience isn't just a flicker; it's a blazing challenge to the very fabric of the town's beliefs.

The Fall of Bellwether beckons readers into a world where love is forbidden and forgiveness is rare currency. With the skill of a master storyteller, the Broughman breathes life into the inhabitants of Bellwether, weaving an intricate web of relationships that captivates the soul.
