Product Description
A New York Times Bestseller and an Oprah Book Club Selection. A remarkable novel about a boy without a voice living in a world populated by the dogs his family raise on his idyllic Wisconsin farm. When a paternal uncle returns to the farm and the boy's beloved father suddenly dies, the boy is convinced that the uncle is responsible harbored by what the boy sees as the uncle gaining the affections of his mother. Grief-stricken and bewildered by these sudden events the boy lashes out and accuses the uncle only to have his plan backfire and he is forced to flee into the wilderness with three of his yearling dogs. There the boy struggles to survive but he knows he must eventually go back home and face his father's murderer. Author Wroblewski is a master storyteller who has woven together an unforgettable tale with breathtaking scenes of the Wisconsin north woods, the sweep of seasons, the smell and feel of a rustic barn, a fateful vision rendered in the falling rain and a riveting family saga. It is a remarkable story about a mute boy and his language of friendship with his beloved dogs - a language that transcends words.
