Meadow of Stones: a story man’s faith and love - promised presented

In the North Georgia town of Tallulah Falls, the mountains keep their own counsel. Steep ridges lean over Tallulah Gorge, where a thousand feet of air hang between the rim and the river's roar. Beyond the ridge, Panther Creek runs cold through hemlock shade and white pines, tumbling over the ledges into deep pools where boys learn to work, to pray, and to keep secrets the world may never understand. Buddy Holcomb grows up in that rough grace - a pastor's son with logger's hands and a quiet, steady heart. One shattering season in Atlanta, a missing little girl, and a choice he cannot undo, cost him more than a football career. The girl he loves is pulled back to the city's glittering world, and Buddy is left in the hills with his aging parents, a childhood friend who loves him in silence, and a private promise no one else hears. Soon, the trail leads to the Holcombs' farm above Panther Creek, where beyond the ridgeline lies a hidden meadow holding dark deeds brought to light - leaving the state to debate between the just and the unjust.
