Few works of American fiction have proved as enduringly popular as Harold Bell Wright's The SHEPHERD of the Hills.
The novel is both exciting and elegiac, mysterious and melodramatic.
Wright's compelling and moving tale of an outsider who begins a new life in the isolated, insulated world of the fictional Mutton Hollow draws on his work as a Protestant pastor and his familiarity with the pioneer culture of homesteaders in the Ozark Mountains region of southern Missouri.
