Finding Canaan in a Wilderness of Human Failure

By Ken Dehaven

By birth I was tethered to a wall of secrets, boundby taunts of the unknown, and driven to escape by the futility of the search. There was no escape--there was only the search. I sought a hidden by-pass to an identity denied at birth. JC Eagle JC Eagle finishes college and returns to his hometown in the Missouri Ozarks. He begins the search for a father he never knew. What kind of man will walk out of the mist? Will he recognize a "breed" son? As he searches for his father, he uncovers a myriad of community problems. The water is lead contaminated, a corporation is involved in land grabs, there is murder, and much more. The community is unwilling or unable to act, and JC assumes community responsibilities in addition to his own troubled search. He takes a room in Mrs. Nash's old boarding house; she provides a refuge and becomes a trusted adviser as he seeks solutions to problems marked by human failure."DeHaven is extremely familiar with this part of the United States, and he draws a precise portrait for the many readers who have little or no knowledge of its geography or customs."
