In a quiet Wisconsin village, one ancient oak--and the battle to save it--may uproot everything.
When a powerful mining company sets its sights on Link Lake's community park, the village erupts in controversy. On one side: economic boosters promising jobs, revenue, and revitalization. On the other: a handful of fiercely devoted locals determined to protect the land, the past, and a towering 300-year-old bur oak known as the Trail Marker Tree.
Caught in the middle is Ambrose Adler, a reclusive farmer with a hidden past, watching his town fracture over the promise of frac sand profits. As the debate intensifies, national voices weigh in--including the enigmatic columnist Stony Field, whose presence could tip the scales. But as tensions mount and protest lines are drawn--sometimes literally--the question becomes: what's the true cost of progress?
The Great Sand Fracas is a timely and spirited novel about community, legacy, and resistance, where the soul of a small town rests in the roots of a single tree.
