In this shattering and iconic American novel, PEN prize-winning
writer, Smith Henderson explores the complexities of freedom,
community, grace, suspicion and anarchy, brilliantly depicting our
nation's disquieting and violent contradictions.
After trying to help Benjamin Pearl, an undernourished, nearly
feral eleven-year-old boy living in the Montana wilderness, social
worker Pete Snow comes face to face with the boy's profoundly
disturbed father, Jeremiah. With courage and caution, Pete slowly
earns a measure of trust from this paranoid survivalist itching for
a final conflict that will signal the coming End Times.
But as Pete's own family spins out of control, Pearl's
activities spark the full-blown interest of the F.B.I., putting
Pete at the center of a massive manhunt from which no one will
emerge unscathed.
