J. Thomas Brown’s book ‘The Land of Three Houses’ has received praise and admiration since its publication. In Brown’s historical novel, THE LAND OF THREE HOUSES, it’s 1793 in Pennsylvania, and the miller’s ambitious son William dreams of a more exciting life. When he encounters Mary Bartholomew, the daughter of a wealthy rival miller, William knows he’s found love and perhaps a means of escaping monotony. They marry and buy their own mill. But this is only the beginning of William’s journey, which takes him to Italy and back before he learns how to appreciate what he already has.

The novel’s subject matter is rich, and Brown incorporates both Native and Anglo-American worldviews well.”     IndieReader Reviews

“...Vivid descriptions of places in nature and what it means to be a human in right relationship with self and all life. It’s a page turner with a purpose beyond entertainment!  Bravo.”     Polly Lazaron
