The Legend of Sander Grant

Marc Phillips

Legend of Sander Grant WEB.jpg

Sander Grant comes from a long line of giant men, cattle ranchers in Dixon, Texas. And as Sander is soon to learn, he is one of the few remaining descendants of the angels mentioned in The Book of Genesis who procreated with women, thus souring their relationship with God. He would rather people forgot all about these ill-begotten sons of his, so he's taken to warning Sander by raining hurt on his mother and inflicting their cattle with BSE. Sander knows too much. He'll have to make a deal with God. A magical tale that sparkles with humanity and humour.
