Overview
From the award-winning, bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars comes a coming-of-age novel about two different visions of what it means to live a good life and the compromises that come with the search for fulfillment. • “Gorgeous, haunting…. A deeply considered tragedy of social alienation and hubris.” —The Washington Post Book WorldJohn William Barry and Neil Countryman shared a love of the outdoors, trekking often into Washington's remote backcountry where they had to rely on their wits—and each other—to survive. Soon after graduating from college, Neil sets out on a path that will lead him toward a life as a devoted schoolteacher and family man. But John William makes a radically different choice, dropping out of college and moving deep into the woods. When he enlists Neil to help him disappear completely, Neil finds himself drawn into a web of agonizing responsibility, deceit, and tragedy—one that will finally break open with a wholly unexpected, life-altering revelation.
