Our Daily Bread
A cautionary tale about the consequences of misunderstanding and judging those around us, Our Daily Bread depicts a generation’s long conflict between the Erskine Clan, who live in secrecy and isolation on North Mountain, and the God-fearing townspeople of nearby Gideon. For generations the clan’s children have suffered unspeakable acts of rape, child abuse, incest, and psychological torture. The intolerant, self-righteous Gideonites decline to intervene, believing their neighbors to be beyond salvation. Yet in both groups, nearly everyone has secrets, and nothing is as it seems.
