To a God Unknown

To a God Unknown is an evocative novel of land, family, faith, and the mysterious forces that shape human life. When Joseph Wayne leaves his New England home and travels west to California, he begins building a new life on the land, developing a profound and almost mystical connection with the natural world around him.
As Joseph's family grows and the landscape becomes increasingly important to their lives, his relationship with the earth takes on a powerful spiritual dimension. His beliefs bring him into conflict with those around him as drought, hardship, family tensions, and questions of faith begin to test his convictions.
Written with rich imagery and an atmospheric sense of place, John Steinbeck's To a God Unknown explores humanity's ancient relationship with nature, the search for meaning, and the boundaries between faith, obsession, and belonging.
