Red Earth White Earth

Having fled his family&#39;s farm at eighteen with a promise never to return, Guy Pehrsson is drawn back into his past when he receives his grandfather&#39;s ominous letter, &quot;Trouble here. Come home when you can.&quot; He returns to discover a place both wholly familiar and barely recognizable and is cast into the center of an interracial land dispute with the exigencies of war.<br /><br />Widely acclaimed when first published in the eighties, the timeless novel Red Earth, White Earth showcases Will Weaver&#39;s rough ease with language and storytelling, frankly depicting life&#39;s uneven terrain and crooked paths.
