Leif Enger's best-selling debut is at once a heroic quest, a tragedy, and a love story, in which "what could be undelievable becomes extraordinary", Enger brings us eleven year old Reuben Land, an asthmatic boy in the Midwest who has reason to believe in miracles. Along with his sister and father, Reuben finds himself on across-country search for his outlaw older brother who has been controversially charged with murder. Their journey unfolds like a revelation, and its conclusion shows how family, love, and faith can stand up to the most terrifying of enemies, the most tragic of fates.
