Paperback. Zustand: Good.

In the vein of Philip Caputo's Crossers.--CHARLIE QUIMBY, author of Monument Road There's a wonderful sense of authenticity and place here.Jay Treiber has given us a rich, well-written, multi-layered book to satisfy wide reading appetites.--ROBERT HOUSTON, author of Bisbee 17. …
