Publisher Description
A boy searches for his fugitive brother in 1960s Minnesota in this New York Times bestseller—"a stunning debut novel [of] faith, miracles, and family" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
An eleven-year-old asthmatic boy, Reuben Land has reason to believe in miracles. But he will soon learn that life, even when touched by the divine, is never easy. Along with his father and poetically inclined sister, Reuben finds himself on a cross-country search for his outlaw older brother who has been controversially charged with murder.
The Land family's journey is touched by serendipity and the kindness of strangers, and its remarkable conclusion demonstrates how family, love, and faith can stand up to the most terrifying of enemies—and the most tragic of fates. "A rich mixture of adventure, tragedy, and healing," Peace Like a River is "a collage of legends from sources sacred and profane—from the Old Testament to the Old West, from the Gospels to police dramas" (Ron Charles, The Christian Science Monitor).
Customer Reviews
Disappointing ending
At Times the writing was very strong but in the end the book leaves too many unanswered questions. When the plot is so meticulously developed earlier to not know if Davy was complicit in the shooting of his dad or why he so carelessly led the killer to the red barn is incomprehensible to me. The ending does not make sense.did the manhunt end and if so why? Plot ending Disappointing!!
