The Road Home -- Jim Harrison

The Road Home lies in the shadows of Manifest Destiny and Wounded Knee; it is etched into the landscape of an old man's memory and into the stubborn dreams of a young man's heart. In one of Jim Harrison's greatest works, five members of the Northridge family narrate the tangled epic of their history on the expanses of the Nebraska plains. They strive to understand their fates, to reconcile with demons of the past, to live in accordance with the land and to die with grace. As the family grapples with the mysterious forces that both pull them apart and draw them inextricably back together, they must come to term with life's greatest and hardest lessons: the deception of passion, the pain of love, the vitality of art, and the supplication to nature's generosity and fury.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Jim Harrison<br><b>Publisher:</b> Washington Square Press<br><b>Published:</b> 10/01/1999<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.89lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.18h x 5.34w x 1.11d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780671778330<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>New York Times</i> 10/31/1999 pg. 40<br><i>Publishers Weekly Best Books</i> 01/01/1998 pg. 40<br><i>New York Times</i> 12/05/1999 pg. 105<br><i>Ingram Advance</i> 10/01/1999 pg. 134<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Jim Harrison</b> is the author of three volumes of novellas, <i>Legends of the Fall, The Woman Lit by Fireflies, </i> and <i>Julip;</i> seven novels, <i>Wolf, A Good Day to Die, Farmer, Warlock, Sundo
