Fiction
A brave, beautifully written story about a man who
reluctantly accepts his birthright in a hard-luck Montana
sheep-ranching family, from the critically acclaimed author
of The Light of Falling Stars. Hoping to make a new life for himself after World War II and
to escape the guilt he feels over the death of a brother who
fought and died in his stead, Grant Person abandons his
family's ranch in Montana for a fishing boat on the
Atlantic. But the death of his mother three years later
draws him back to the nearly deserted ranch. His father has
mysteriously disappeared, and his only remaining brother,
Max, a lifelong rival, takes off the day Grant returns,
leaving Grant with a couple of hired hands, a sickly flock,
and a pile of debt. Max comes home a year later, bringing
with him a young woman named Sophia. As Grant falls in love
with Sophia, he contemplates the possibility of a less
isolated future. But Sophia is only happiness enough for one
brother. With unflinching honesty, J. Robert Lennon tackles the
complications of love, loss, and work; loyalty to family,
the land, and one's own desires; and the nature of solitude.
Showing us the beauty of a bleak place, he redefines the
notion of a life worth living.
