Finished reading: A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash 📚 I really enjoy these stories set in Western Carolina. Set in a small North Carolina mountain town, A Land More Kind Than Home explores the dangerous intersection of faith, family, and secrets. When a charismatic preacher’s extreme religious practices lead to tragedy, a young boy, his family, and a troubled sheriff confront the consequences. Told through three distinct perspectives, Wiley Cash’s haunting debut novel examines religious fanaticism, misplaced trust, and the struggle between loyalty and truth. It’s a powerful Southern Gothic story about love, loss, and redemption.
