A Forgotten Grave. A Broken Christ. A Mystery That Refused to Stay Buried. What if one child's discovery could uncover a secret the Nebraska prairie had protected for nearly a century? As the Great Depression and Dust Bowl tighten their grip on northwestern Nebraska, ten-year-old Claire Halverson escapes the hardships of farm life by wandering the lonely ridges above Chadron Creek. There she discovers a forgotten grave marked by a weathered wooden cross. Buried beneath it lies a broken wooden Christ, hidden in 1841 by a grieving French missionary after a devastating smallpox epidemic swept through a Lakota village. What begins as the curiosity of a child soon becomes an unforgettable journey into history, faith, sacrifice, and the enduring power of compassion. Beautifully blending historical fiction, mystery, and inspirational storytelling, The Grave on the Ridge brings the Nebraska Plains to life through richly drawn characters, authentic frontier history, and a mystery that spans ninety-two years. As Claire uncovers the truth, she learns that some acts of mercy never disappear, they simply wait for the right person to find them. Inside you'll discover:
- A captivating historical mystery set during the Great Depression and the American frontier.
- An unforgettable story inspired by the history, landscapes, and cultures of the Nebraska Plains.
- A moving exploration of faith, forgiveness, courage, and reconciliation.
