A landmark American novel of the Ozarks that combines frontier life, spiritual reflection, and one of the earliest literary portraits of the Missouri hill country.
When a mysterious elderly man arrives in the remote Ozark hills of Missouri, the quiet mountain community becomes curious about the stranger who seems both gentle and deeply burdened by the past. Known simply as the Shepherd, the newcomer soon forms a bond with the hill people-especially young Sammy Lane and the spirited Sammy's mother-while gradually revealing the tragic history that brought him to the hills.
Set against the rugged beauty of the Ozark Mountains, The Shepherd of the Hills tells a story of redemption, forgiveness, and the enduring strength of family and faith. Harold Bell Wright's vivid descriptions of the region and its people helped bring national attention to the Ozarks and turned the novel into one of the most widely read American books of the early twentieth century.
Part romance, part frontier drama, and part spiritual allegory, The Shepherd of the Hills remains a beloved classic of regional American fiction and one of Wright's most enduring works.
