Overview Ratings & Reviews

When George Hammon's teenaged wife dies in childbirth in 1914, he flees small-town Iowa for Europe and the horrors of the Great War. Surviving battles, homelessness, and disease, he squanders his days on women and wine, trying to forget his lost love. But life is not idle in Iowa during his absence, and when a bitter and weary George comes home twenty-two years later, he finds a web of murder, suicide, and shocking revelations. The future of his family rests on one terrible choice...but is he prepared to make it? Spanning the years 1893 through 2009, "Hammon Falls" weaves a tapestry of estrangement, loss, love, sacrifice, and redemption.

The Story Behind This Book

Co-author Roger Hileman wrote a screenplay inspired by an incident in the life of his grandmother when she was a teenager. Dave Hoing read the screenplay, loved it, and suggested they write a novelized version of it. The result was Hammon Falls.
