Publisher Description:
""A lost church?" said Homer Kelly. "How could a church get itself lost? You mean it just pointed its steeple at the horizon and took off?""
""
"His wife sucked her pencil. "I know it sounds strange."" Strange or not, Homer and Mary are soon engaged in a "steeplechase," a pursuit of the mysterious lost church. Luckily, the reader is in on the mystery. This sequel to "The Deserter: Murder at Gettysburg" is set in 1868 in the town of Nashoba, Massachusetts, where the daughter of the Reverend Josiah Gideon cares for her husband, James, brutally disfigured in the last battle of the Civil War. In the parsonage across the town green, the Reverend Horatio Biddle fumes at what he considers to be Josiah's brazen ways, while Mrs. Biddle spies on the outhouse in Josiah's backyard. Central to the story is a gigantic tree, the Great Nashoba Chestnut. Crucially intermingled with its fate are a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, the story "The Three Billy Goats Gruff," and the nonsense rhymes of Mother Goose. Homer and Mary Kelly will once again delve deep into the past to unravel puzzles in the present. This novel includes charming drawings by the author and a number of nineteenth-century photographs.
