Description



Book Synopsis



When a volcano suddenly emerges in the middle of his family's Alabama cattle pasture, young Charlie Melvin is confronted with a promise his grandfather once made-- that something extraordinary would rise from the land. As Charlie comes of age, he wrestles with the meaning of the volcano and the legacy of his family. His story unfolds through evocative vignettes that explore love, loss, responsibility, and faith. Graceful, tender, and emotionally resonant, Bradley Sides' The Volcano Keeper is a moving portrait of a young man navigating grief while discovering the quiet miracles woven into the natural world.
