For the Grebels, whose plots of organic crops trace a modest patchwork among the vast fields of soybeans and corn, trouble arrives from a different quarter in the form of Elsa's voice on her estranged son's answering machine: \"Your father's dead. You'll probably want to come home.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a tractor accident fells the patriarch of this Mennonite family, the threads holding them together are suddenly drawn taut, singing with the tensions of a lifetime's worth of love and faith, betrayal and shame. Through the competing voices of those gathered for Haven Grebel's funeral, acts of loyalty and failures, long-suppressed resentments and a tragic secret are brought to light, expressing a larger, complex truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLadette Randolph is the editor-in-chief of \u003cem\u003ePloughshares\u003c\/em\u003e magazine and is Distinguished Publisher-in-Residence at Emerson College.
