Description

Fabian Dakota’s haunting guilt over his little brother’s disappearance from their parents’ barley farm twenty years earlier leads him home again to confront the painful memories of his past and to learn to accept his wife’s terminal illness. He soon discovers that from the other side of reality, in a perfect world of barley and gold, comes the power to heal and the magic to believe. In the spirit of Alice Walker’s THE COLOR PURPLE and W.P. Kinsella’s SHOELESS JOE, BARLEY AND GOLD is the story of one man’s struggle to face his own guilt and fear, as well as to understand the inevitable truth of life. Through flashbacks of his childhood, and a surreal reunion with his little brother, Fabian attempts to deal with his past and to reconcile himself to the future.
