Set in 1915, Enger's (Peace Like a River) new novel tells the tale of Monte Becket, a disappointed, one-time novelist who lives simply with his loving wife and whip-smart son. As a writer he has lost his sense of purpose and five years after the successful publication of his first book, he has failed at completing a new one. Things change, however, when he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a charming, enigmatic, aging cowboy who has been hiding out in Monte's small town for two decades.
