From the author of the bestselling "Snow Falling on Cedars," a
coming-of-age novel that presents two powerfully different visions
of what it means to live a good life and the compromises that come
with fulfillment.
John William Barry and Neil Countryman shared a love of the
outdoors, trekking often into Washington's remote backcountry where
they had to rely on their wits--and each other--to survive. Soon
after graduating from college, Neil sets out on a path that will
lead him toward a life as a devoted schoolteacher and family man.
But John William makes a radically different choice, dropping out
of college and moving deep into the woods. When he enlists Neil to
help him disappear completely, Neil finds himself drawn into a web
of agonizing responsibility, deceit, and tragedy--one that will
finally break open with a wholly unexpected, life-altering
revelation.
