Peace Like a River

This evocative novel narrated by an asthmatic 11-year-old follows the unusual Land family as they journey across the frozen Badlands of the Dakotas in search of their fugitive older brother. Charged with murder, he has fled and the scales of justice will not weigh in his favor. Affecting and dynamic, Peace Like a River is at once a tragedy, a romance, and an exploration into spirituality and magic in everyday life. This is a wondrous celebration of family, faith, and spirit, and a classic work of literature.
