A still virtually unknown event took place in Ebenezer, New York during the summer of 1939. This is the focal point of Elliott Baker's novel, EBENEZER. But before it is reached, the reader is taken on a fictional journey via orphanage and brothel, murder and mysticism, always accompanied by memorable characters. The New York Times Book Review said of one of his earlier novels, "Baker continually turns laughter into pain, then back again, while always leaving the wound of truth." The same can be said of EBENEZER.
