A hard-hitting starkly evocative glimpse into the family Spear, told from an unrelenting gritty reality. A family stuck in a time; stolen of an era, pluck from the sardonic virtues of a world that has passed them by. A son who was born into a manhood and inclinations, another who has the heart of too many and the inabilities to find his way. A mother made of stone. A father of rural legend and a grandfather dug from the pestilent countryside itself. The tale of the Spear is at times both a nightmare in prose and a hope for change from the somber hideous past, which bore them all. Foregone is the sheath of the day and cometh the dark of the harvest... The Harvest Black.
