The Shaman of Turtle Valley

The Alexanders have farmed the land in Turtle Valley for generations, but when Aiken Alexander brings home a young South Korean bride, things take an unexpected turn.

Despite his love for his son, his wife's strange behavior and eventual disappearance with their child lead to a breaking point in their marriage.

As Aiken's life falls apart, he becomes intertwined with the dubious history of his family, pitting brother against brother and cousin against cousin in a perfect storm of violence and dysfunction.

Drawing on Korean beliefs in spirits and shamanism, this dynamic and beautifully written debut novel explores how Aiken solves these problems - both corporeal and spiritual - at the center of his story.

With a unique blend of cultural insights and gripping family drama, The Alexanders at Turtle Valley is a must-read for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally charged novel.
