Summary
When Reuben Land's older brother Davy kills two marauders who have come to harm the family, the town is divided between those who see him as a hero and those who see him as a cold-blooded murderer. On the morning of the trial, Davy escapes and his family sets out in search of him. With Jeremiah at the helm, the family covers territory far more glorious than even the Badlands. By the time the journey is over, they will have traversed boundaries of a different nature entirely. Set in the 1960s and marked by a soul-expanding sense of place, Peace Like a River is a heroic quest, a tragedy, a romance, and a heartfelt meditation on the possibility of magic in the everyday world
