Spur Award Winner
“An ambitious novel about redemption and the strength of family bonds.”-Kirkus Reviews
A father’s expectations. A son’s search for redemption. A family shaped by love, loss, and the relentless passage of time.
From the wild frontier days of the late 1800s to the post-war reckoning of the 1950s, this award-winning novel follows three generations of the McClellan family through the eyes of the youngest son. Growing up in the shadow of his celebrated father and brother, Jordan is more into books than farmwork or sports. But when tragedy strikes, guilt drives him spiraling down a path with dire consequences.
His relentless search for meaning and atonement sends him far from home-to places as far ranging as the Caribbean, a small Mexican village, and seminary. Yet, no matter how far he runs, the shadows follow. As Jordan grapples with his past and its impact on those he loves, he discovers a new understanding of his father-and himself.
Perfect for fans of Amanda Peters and William Kent Krueger, Of Saints and Rivers is a sweeping historical saga of doubt, resilience, and the unbreakable ties of family.
