his dogs, Bummer and Lazarus; and Lily, the former Goth girl. Now
if only they can get little Sophie to stop babbling about the

parents are old and remote and the boarding school they've sent him
to bristles with bullies and sadistic staff. The only comfort he
gets is from his fantasy world of Cowboys and Indians. But when his
sister Diane, a rising star of stage and screen, falls in love with
one of his idols, the suave TV cowboy Ray Montane, Tom's life is
transformed. They move to Hollywood and all his dreams seem to have
come true. Soon, however, the sinister side of Tinseltown casts its
shadow and a shocking act of violence changes their lives forever.
What happened all those years ago remains a secret that corrodes
Tom's life and wrecks his marriage. Only when his estranged son, a
US Marine, is charged with murder do the events resurface, forcing
him to confront his demons. As he struggles to save his son's life,
he will learn the true meaning of bravery. Powerfully written and
intensely moving, The Brave traces the legacy of violence behind
the myth of the American West and explores our quest for love and
identity, the fallibility of heroes and the devastating effects of
family secrets.
