Description: Ledford is a lost man, disconnected from the present and haunted by his violent past, until he meets his cousins, the Bonecutter brothers.  Their land, the mysterious, elemental Marrowbone Cut, calls to Ledford, and it is there, with help form an unlikely bunch, that the Marrowbone Marble Company is slowly forged.  Over the next two decades, the factory town becomes a vanguard of the civil rights movement and the war on poverty, a home for those intent on change.  Such a home inevitably invites trouble, and Ledford must fight for his family.
