Stewart's Camp Novels

Stewart’s Camp, California, is just a tiny, rusty place, forgotten amongst the hills of the Gold Country, but it’s also a town with a past. And the past tends to visit the present—with or without invitation.

★★★★★

“…the title is exactly right. Marble and Mud is about beauty mixed with embarrassment, faith mixed with ego, good intentions mixed with terrible judgment, and people who become meaningful to each other while they’re still trying to figure out what their lives are supposed to mean."

★★★★★

“…both a mystery and a character-driven meditation on conscience, trauma, forgiveness, and the forms of grace people sometimes extend to one another."
