In the rolling farmland of America's Midwest, Gabriel Fisher is exceptional from the moment he is born, weighing in at an impossible eighteen pounds. He walks at eight months, possesses extraordinary athletic abilities and a gentleness that draws people and animals to him.

Taken in by his devout grandparents, for a while Gabriel lives quietly in the Amish community. But it's hard to hide forever when you're nearly eight feet tall and at seventeen, he is spotted labouring in a hay field by the local football coach.

What happens next transforms not only Gabriel's life but the lives of everyone he meets.

Life, and Death, and Giants is an unforgettable story of faith, family, buried secrets and everyday miracles, for fans of

Where The Crawdads Sing, Elizabeth Strout and John Irving.

Praise for Life, and Death, and Giants

'With Life, and Death, and Giants, Ron Rindo has performed literary magic. This is a remarkable, profoundly moving novel.' - Larry Watson, author of Montana 1984
