Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck left an indelible mark on the American literary canon. Set in Steinbeck's native California, To a God Unknown explores the mystical connections between a man and his land. Soon after Joseph Wayne follows his dead father's dream of starting a farm, he begins to believe his father's spirit occupies a massive tree on the property. But when the tree is destroyed and drought descends on the land, Joseph finds himself spiritually adrift.
