Yet in both groups, nearly everyone has secrets, and nothing is as it seems. The intolerant, self-righteous Gideonites decline to intervene, believing their neighbours to be beyond salvation. For generations, the clan’s children have suffered unspeakable acts of abuse, incest and psychological torture. The Erskine Clan, long shunned by the people of Gideon, live in secrecy and isolation on North Mountain. A novel about what happens when we view our neighbours as “The Other” and the transformative power of unlikely friendships, Our Daily Bread is inspired by the true story of the Goler Clan of Nova Scotia.
