Intriguing weave of history and the harshness of survival following the Marias Massacre of 1870 with a seemingly unrelated, current day story of a young victim of PTSD. Mike Hancock immerses you in both stories, leaves you numb from your brush with insanity, cruelty and death, then rudely, relentlessly, like life itself, drags you on, wondering where on earth this is leading you. Like the love between fathers and sons, Mike brings the two stories together with an ending you could never imagine.
I found the 2 storylines so separate at first would irritate me when the switch would leave me wanting more. I found the end coming together both surprising and satisfying. The writing, the background work covering the Indian tribe, Good job Mike Hancock.
