It is mid-twentieth-century Midwest America, and eleven-year-old Reuben Land embarks with his father and sister on a cross-country search for his outlaw older brother who has been controversially charged with murder. Along their way, the Lands make friends as well as an enemy or two, tell stories, write poems, ride horses, keep secrets, witness miracles, and rely on God and each other. We will explore the themes of justice, faith, the power of story, as well as the conflict between the good guy and bad guy.
