On a rural Kansas farmland, in the years leading up to the Second World War, two French immigrants and their nine children experience the hardships that defined many American lives at that time. Beyond the harsh winters that can render the white farmhouse invisible, the threat of life-altering storms and the summertime pale brown wind that dries up their crops, there is a steely heartbeat of determination. THE WAY OF THE CORN takes the reader inside the heart and mind of an aging man who feels dutifully compelled to write the life story of his locally infamous and often misunderstood eldest brother, Denzil. The writer reveals not only his brother's dreadful lifelong secret, but more importantly, his adventurous heart and quick mind that defines a complicated journey that was his life. At this isolated middle-America locale, there are wounds bound inside the family of choices made as well as an inherent willfulness steering their destiny. Along the way, the many unforgettable characters living within this ordinary spot on the map also experience joy, hope, resentment and love-that binds them together. Take a ride in the old blue Ford pickup truck and bounce down a dusty pock-holed road. Hold on tight for you will have no idea what might happen next.
