Fertile Ground is a novel that brings to light a dark chapter of American history. During the cold spring of 1942 in upstate New York, US government officials steal away German-born farmer Hans Müller in the middle of the night, leaving his wife and two sons alone and without explanation. Has the government made a horrible mistake that threatens to undo their family? Or does Hans' odd obsession with his shortwave radio and foreign newspapers mean his quaint American life has been a lie?
