2014-05-13 20:39:05| Powells Books Events Calendar
After trying to help Benjamin Pearl, an undernourished, nearly feral 11-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. In Fourth of July Creek (Ecco), a shattering debut novel, Smith Henderson explores the complexities of freedom, community, grace, suspicion, and anarchy — brilliantly depicting our nation's disquieting and violent contradictions.
