Description

Born in a Norwegian Lutheran family and reared during the Depression, Jacob Svendahl's roots are firmly planted in religious soil. When an Aunt and Uncle disappear along with their three-year-old child and their farm house burns to the ground, the community and the authorities suspect they have, like so many of their neighbors, left the area to avoid their debts. But Jacob's father knows better and persuades the sheriff to conduct an investigation. After many months and countless trips to the farm, the decayed bodies of Jacob's aunt and uncle are discovered in their water well. Jacob and his cousins assist in the search for the killer and help solve the case when they find evidence in a nearby cave that identifies the killers. Life plods on until WWII when Jacob's father is killed in a farm accident and lightning kills his betrothed on the day before their wedding. Totally devastated, angry at a spiteful God, Jacob pulls up his religious roots and stumbles through a life of depression and suicidal attempts until, with help, he regains his religious equilibrium, sheds his cloak of anger and self pity, finds God, and dies a saved soul.
