Shallow Creek

In 1939, high in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee, William Wallace's house burns to the ground and kills his father. With no other immediate family alive, William is sent to live with his grandfather, Silas Wallace, a man he doesn't know. He has heard some stories about Silas from his father, however, and none of them are good. William comes to learn over time that as much as he needs his grandfather, his grandfather needs him even more. He also comes to love the land Silas calls Shallow Creek, land that has been in his family for generations and symbolizes the importance of family, perseverance, love and kindness. Sadly, in Mosheim, he also comes head to head with hatred, bigotry, and cruelty. The intriguing life of William Wallace, with its many twists and turns, will tug at the reader's emotions.
