Description

Henry Smith's father warned him that if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, it will never find you. But when a pickup truck strikes his older brother Franklin, carrying Chay Chouan, a young Cambodian boy from school, Trouble comes crashing into their lives. The accident sparks racial tensions in the town and at home, leaving Henry feeling caught between anger and grief. In an attempt to cope, he sets out on a journey to climb Mt. Katahdin, a mountain he had planned to conquer with Franklin. Joined by Black Dog, whom he rescued from drowning, and a friend, Henry embarks on a perilous adventure that becomes an odyssey of self-discovery. As he navigates the challenges of the mountain, Henry uncovers secrets about himself, his family, and their place in the world. The journey forces him to confront the reality of Trouble's presence in his life, and he must find a way to overcome it.
