Christian Bend

Christian Bend isnt the kind of place where one expects to find the sorts of secrets the widow Burdy Luttrell has been harboring. Tucked in the hills of East Tennessee, Christian Bend is a place of piercing beauty, where the rivers and love run constant. A community of people who care for each other, the land, the music, and the stories that bind them. Even so, Burdy never could bring herself to tell Rain Hurd the truth about his father. Shed always meant to, but put it off until that day she was nearly killed in the shooting at Bean Station. Thats when Burdy told him about the letters. Rain didnt believe her at first but once he found the letters, Rain was faced with a trauma of his own: What had prompted his father to abandon his family? And would Rain ever be able to forgive him the death of his mother? Or would the community, which had long proudly regarded Zebulon Hurd as their own war hero, now abandon the aging veteran to the grief that overwhelmed him?
