Travel on a rickety sailing ship as a minister and lover flee Scotland to assist with the Underground Railroad in the 1850’s. Then journey from the rugged, dirt-poor mountains of North Carolina where snake-handling preachers, bootleggers, and murderous hillbillies rule to experiences with Nobel Peace Prize winners, poet laureates, US senators, and famous musicians. David Howell shares from his books: Tethered to an Appalachian Curse: A Surprise Calling and Buried Dreamer. “. . . author David Howell welcomes the reader into a story of another place, another time, introduces us to fascinating characters . . . “ Presiding Bishop Michael Curry ; “With imagination and engaging characters, David Howell points to the Creator’s timeless song that calls us to live into the ways of justice, purpose, and place, and to never quit the courageous fight for all who have been denied their own.” Peter Mayer, lead guitarist for the late Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band; “. . . a Southern storyteller, preacher, prophet, and stirrer of holy mischief.” Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago
