Abstract
Rural East Texas, 1931. Preacher’s son Emory Joe Logan and a fiddler from Shreveport, Glory Lands, meet and form a tender bond. When they are caught and arrested for homosexual acts by Sheriff Elihu Bishop, the lawman’s sanctimonious bigotry threatens to rip the young men from their families. Emory Joe’s father, Pastor Charles Logan, is brought to his knees in terror, confusion and anger. He still regrets not standing up against Bishop when the lawman murdered a youth in cold blood nine years ago. Now there’s no longer a choice for the preacher to stand up to the lawman. Cold-blooded justice, bigotry-disguised-as-religion and hatred take on a whole new meaning when they’re standing on his doorstep, ready to take the son he loves.
