Bo Mason, his wife, and his two boys live a transient life of poverty and
despair. Drifting from town to town and from state to state, the violent,
ruthless Bo seeks his fortune in the hotel business, in new farmland, and,
eventually, in illegal rum-running throughout the treacherous back roads of the
American Northwest. Each peak of success takes him a little bit higher, and each
valley sinks him lower than ever before-both financially and in his relationship
with his family.
Based largely on his own childhood, Stegner has created a masterful, harrowing
saga of a family trying to survive during the lean years of the early twentieth
century. It is the conflict between the hardscrabble existence and Bo's pursuit
of the frontier myth and of the American Dream that gives the book such
resonance and power.
