Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three things have been passed down through generations of Fairbanks men: the family farm, a liking for alcohol, and a "gift" of mysterious visions of the past overlaying the present. When Jim first starts seeing things he can't explain, it seems that these shimmering images might give him a clue as to how to keep the place going on the brink of foreclosure. Perhaps his fear of letting his ancestors down has caused them to reach out. He could certainly use the help. The banker in town seems intent on grabbing both the farm and Jim's wife. The harvesting equipment is broken, and he has no money to fix it. A tragic accident adds medical bills and worry to the family's woes. And the whiskey Jim turns to for comfort and confidence only makes matters worse. The visions, though unsettling, are somewhat helpful at first-but soon they take a dark turn, showing Jim the trail of violence that led his forefathers to America, to the West, to the land he so reveres, and ultimately to their own kind of hell. The family curse consumed his great-grandfather, his grandfather, and his own father. Will Jim be next in line?
