About This Book

The novel traces Roger, an intellectually inclined youth who grows up on a mortgaged farm, converts a corn crib into a laboratory, and balances college, athletics, and friendships with Ernest and the Wolfs. The sudden deaths of his parents force him into adulthood and homelessness, after which he is sheltered by friends, confronts illness and loss, and embarks on perilous journeys that bring desert hardships, confrontations with outlaws, and moral reckonings. Episodes mix coming-of-age reflection, physical danger, and the bonds of loyalty that shape his passage into maturity.
