The boy, J.T., who is half Mexican, half Chickasaw and has been raised by his grandmother, is known for starting trouble. Sheriff Martin sets out on a fevered search, determined to find J.T., even as the hunt reopens wounds from a traumatic event in his past. In a seemingly parallel but ultimately intersecting story, Hickson Crider, a veteran of the first Iraq war, discovers a mysterious crevice, perfectly round and seemingly bottomless, in his backyard. The hole becomes Hickson's obsession--and an ominous clue in Sheriff Martin's investigation.Aaron Gwyn's perceptive, quietly beautiful prose is \"reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor\" (\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e), engaging us in a tale that is both savage and burning with heart, about the after effects of war, violence, faith, and random acts of devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 13, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724064428095,"sku":"9780393350333","price":27.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/822bd672a9a5352db76e420890e1b808.webp?v=1765101360","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-world-beneath-paperback-1","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
