__________________________________________________________________________ When you live on the
edge of society  it only takes one step to fall between the cracks Twins Jeanie and Julius have
always been different from other people. At 51 years old  they still live with their mother 
Dot  in rural isolation and poverty. Inside the walls of their old cottage they make music  and
in the garden they grow (and sometimes kill) everything they need for sustenance. But when Dot
dies suddenly  threats to their livelihood start raining down. Jeanie and Julius would do
anything to preserve their small sanctuary against the perils of the outside world  even as
their mother's secrets begin to unravel  putting everything they thought they knew about their
lives at stake. Unsettled Ground is a powerful novel of betrayal and resilience  love and
survival. It is a portrait of life on the fringes of society that explores with dazzling
emotional power how we can build our lives on broken foundations  and spin light from darkness.
