COMMON GROUND is the story of three ordinary people struggling to rekindle a sense of purpose and meaning back into their lives after each loses a loved one.

Edna Hill, with the help of her dead husband’s hidden notes, gifts, and promises, finds a new voice and courage after the age of 70. Her longtime, outspoken friend, Beaulah Delaney, remarries and reinvents her family farm and herself, only to lose a second husband. With their quirky but insightful Biblical interpretations, they eventually establish their own hybrid church. A constant in both women’s life is former-teacher and handyman Nathan Walker whose brief love affair with Beaulah’s son, Seth, before he is killed in one of the undeclared American wars, forces a new and simple understanding of family, love, religion, and heritage.
