About this title

Synopsis

East Texas, 1933... Joe Turner has lost nearly everything... his wife, his child, and the faith that once sustained him. Alone on a dying patch of land, he buries his grief in the steady rhythm of hammer and anvil, forging horseshoes no one has ordered and speaking only to the ghosts that haunt him, while the world around him slowly falls apart.

When a stranger from his wartime past appears on his doorstep, Joe is forced to confront the wounds he has spent years trying to outwork. In a land battered by drought, poverty, and despair, Joe discovers that some burdens are too heavy for one man to carry.

Set against the hardship of the Great Depression, The Blacksmith is richly atmospheric and deeply human.
