Product Description
For John Borne's family, hunting has nothing to do with sport or manliness. It's a matter of survival. Every fall John and his grandfather go off into the woods to shoot the deer that puts meat on the table over the long Minnesota winter.
But this year John's grandfather is dying, and John must hunt alone. John tracks a doe for two days, but as he closes in on his prey, he realizes he cannot shoot her. For John, the hunt is no longer about killing, but about life.

sherry (USA: MS) (2007/09/19):
wonderful book for a preteen boy
janie (USA: AK) (2008/08/10):
John Borne always looked forward to hunting with his grandfather. But now his grandfather is dying, and the hunt will be without joy. But when John sees the doe, waiting, watching him, he knows he must track her; not to kill, but to find in the skill of the hunt, in the way of the wild, how to hold on to his grandfather's life.
