“Burning Ground” by D.A. Galloway is part time-travel adventure, part travelogue, part historical fiction, part romance, and part survival guide. The book is many things and therein lies its positives and its negatives.

The book begins in 1971 with an immensely tragic moment for the protagonist Graham Davidson and his family. Tragedy multiplied becomes the basis of the novel for the first number of chapters. Davidson finds himself lost within his own family as he continues to blame himself for the mounting tragic events. The author provides an honest take on the toll that tragedies take on a family, and the threads that hold the Davidson family together become quite bare.
