Description
A gripping tale of sacrificial love set in a fractured community. When Wendell Newman is left an orphan after his mother's death, he is forced to take in Rowdy Burns, a mute and traumatized boy who becomes the centre of his life. As they navigate their complicated pasts, a desperate chase unfolds during the first legal wolf hunt in Montana in over thirty years. Caught on the wrong side of a disaffected fringe group, Wendell must protect Rowdy while avoiding the same violent fate that claimed his own father. This powerful bond will be tested to the breaking point as they face the harsh realities of their world. A haunting and unforgettable story about the unbreakable ties between people and the land they call home. Finalist for the Centre for Fiction First Novel Prize, Fall Back Down When I Die is a heart-wrenching exploration of love, loyalty and survival in a community torn apart by violence and mistrust.
