Description
The story begins with an unexpected confrontation between two groups of teenagers. Seventeen-year-old Davey is found waiting for them in bed, armed with a Winchester rifle, while his family's father has been seen performing miracles. As the situation unfolds, it becomes clear that no one can protect Davey from being arrested for manslaughter. Davey manages to break out of jail and steals a horse, disappearing into the unknown. His family sets out on a quest to find him, following an outlaw west into the Dakota Badlands. The novel is set in the 1960s on the edge of the Great Plains and is told through the voice of an eleven-year-old boy. The story explores themes of family, love, and faith as they face their fears and confront tragedy. With its epic dimension and soul-expanding sense of place, this contemporary novel reveals how these values can stand up to even the most daunting challenges.
