In the center of the rural boomtown of Soda Springs, Idaho, stands
the historic Enders Hotel, Cafe, and Bar, a three-story brick
building that has been many things to many people. But to one
family who bought it as an attempt to renew themselves it was home,
a place they desperately tried to hold on to and yet, after
seventeen years of living there, the very place from which they
wanted to escape. Growing up under its leaking roof, Brandon R.
Schrand watched a cast of broken characters pass through the hotel
doors--an alcoholic artist, a forgotten boxing champ, an ex-con, a
homeless family--and tried to find his own identity among those
revolving faces. Haunted by a father he had never seen, he tested
the faces of those drifters for familiarity. Winner of the River
Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize, "The Enders Hotel" reveals the
promises and warnings of western boomtown life--stories of
alcoholism, murder, betrayal, hope, and finally, redemption.
