Twelve-year-old David Hayden learns terrible secrets about his family during the summer of 1948, and as the secrets come to light and are dealt with, he comes to see the people in his family in new ways.

This is a powerful coming-of-age story set in Montana in the postwar period. We see people rise to do the right thing; we see people fall, doing the wrong thing. And whether people do the right or the wrong thing, we see how difficult it is to make a decision at all, and we see the consequences of the decisions made reverberating throughout an entire family, an entire community.
