Grave of Songs Chaunce Stanton

Every Family Has Secrets

What other secrets lie buried on the Nelson family farm-besides the bones of ancient giants?

A father dies protecting his son, and the boy's life is turned upside-down. He struggles to be the man his father was to build a future, but his strict aunt and uncle seem bent on tearing everything down. And then they find the bones of giants.

Set in Annandale, Minnesota in 1888, this is the story of a farm family confronted by a changing world. The Grave of Songs is a powerful confluence of historical family drama, folklore, imagination, and coming-of-age storytelling.
