Lamb's Creek

Don Miller's first novel, Lamb's Creek, is a work of fiction set during a perplexing time in American history. From 1820's South Carolina to the hills of Tennessee, Don captures life and the everyday struggles of those who lived in a nation divided by war. Lamb's Creek traces the lives and loves of two unforgettable characters as they journey through a changing American landscape. Sammy, the independent, free-spirited boy born into slavery, and Eli, the determined boy resolved to see all men equal, are bound by a unique brotherhood. Their unconventional family and wisdom bind to build a community that spurned slavery and survived the bloodshed of the Civil War. Tragedy marks the trail to Lamb's Creek, but Don's style of storytelling adds humor and insightfulness to the realities of life. Don guides us alongside his characters to understand the strong bonds of slavery, family and community.
