For fans of Brokeback Mountain and Legend of a Suicide, a story of a father's attempt to save his wayward son
Tom Berry is a hunter, a man who would be most content living out his days in the wilderness with just enough ammunition and kerosene to last the winter. A single father, he has raised his children with care and quiet determination, but when his son Curtis gets into trouble with the law and goes on the run, Tom discovers that might not have been enough.

The Mountain Can Wait is as haunting, wild and compelling as the landscape it describes - Claire Cameron, author of The Bear
