When Edward Garlock was sober, he was a kind, generous, hard-working farmer and father of eight. But he was more often drunk which transformed him into a bully capable of absolute cruelty. After a particularly brutal attack, his wife Jessie loaded her eight children into the wagon and was ready to leave when the Holy Spirit told her to wait. She obeyed and returned home. The next day two young men showed up on his doorstep on a summer afternoon in 1913, setting into motion an amazing series of events. This true story of a family’s troubled past will leave you breathless at the depravity of human nature and amazed at the power Divine intervention.
