About this Book

Print Excerpt


"Do I get to carry a rifle, Deddy?" he said, scratching at the wool cap where his father had pulled at it.

"Well, I don't reckon you can shoot anything without one," Cooper said, and lifted a .223 rifle down from the stone mantle. The gun wasn't new, but it was heavy and solid. Gareth took the weapon and inspected it like his father had taught him. He made a show of it to prove the lessons had stuck.

"Let's go," he said, and the three of them took to the woods.
