Search - Montana 1948

This is one of my favorite books of all time. Suppose you are the sheriff of a small town. Suppose your brother, the Golden Boy of the family, has become a doctor who treats the Native Americans on the reservation. And suppose he's accused of molesting the Indian girls...what do you do? Told from the viewpoint of 12-year-old David's point of view, it's a year neither he...nor you...will ever forget. HIGHLY recommended.

Deceptively simple, this is a powerful novel about families, secrets and justice. It is about how one family is torn apart and yet brought together by their actions and reactions to a crime. Even though it is a short book it has more story in it than a 900 page novel. The characters emotions jump off the page and take firm hold on you. A book I highly recommend.

I truly liked this book. Well-written without being wordy. The story got started from the first page and I stayed up late to finish it - it was that good. Excellent writing, fascinating characters, a positive reading experience.

Beautiful and powerfully written. I am giving copies to everyone.

I loved this book. I was drawn into the story immediately. It is the kind of story you find yourself thinking about when you are forced to put the book down to deal with your ordinary life. It is so simply and well written! The story , the characters, the place all come to life. In some ways it reminded me of "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD". It is just a superbly written, suspenseful story.

Great story that captures the complexities of families and the secrets they keep.
