The poignant odyssey of a tenacious young girl who braves the
dangers of the Texas frontier to avenge her mother's death. Early
one morning in the remote hill country of Texas, a panther savagely
attacks a family of homesteaders, mauling a young girl named
Samantha and killing her mother, whose final act is to save her
daughter's life. Samantha and her half brother, Benjamin, survive,
but she is left traumatized, her face horribly scarred. Narrated in
Benjamin's beguilingly plainspoken voice, The Which Way Tree is the
story of Samantha's unshakeable resolve to stalk and kill the
infamous panther, rumored across the Rio Grande to be a demon, and
avenge her mother's death. In their quest she and Benjamin, now
orphaned, enlist a charismatic Tejano outlaw and a haunted,
compassionate preacher with an aging but relentless tracking dog.
As the members of this unlikely posse hunt the panther, they are in
turn pursued by a hapless but sadistic Confederate soldier with
troubled family ties to the preacher and a score to settle. In the
tradition of the great pursuit narratives, The Which Way Tree is a
breathtaking saga of one steadfast girl's revenge against an
implacable and unknowable beast. Yet with the comedic undertones of
Benjamin's storytelling, it is also a timeless tale full of warmth
and humor, and a testament to the enduring love that carries a
sister and brother through a perilous adventure with all the
dimensions of a legend. A ripping adventure [with] a show-stopping
finale.-Wall Street Journal The stuff of legends.-Attica Locke
Powerful, sly, and often charming.-Daniel Woodrell
