520    "A novel about the role of stories in our lives, those we 
       tell ourselves about ourselves and those we agree to live 
       by." -Globe and Mail When Franklin Starlight is called to 
       visit his father, he has mixed emotions. Raised by the old
       man he was entrusted to soon after his birth, Frank is 
       haunted by the brief and troubling moments he has shared 
       with his father, Eldon. When he finally travels by 
       horseback to town, he finds Eldon on the edge of death, 
       decimated from years of drinking. The two undertake 
       difficult journey into the mountainous backcountry, in 
       search of a place for Eldon to die and be buried in the 
       warrior way. As they travel, Eldon tells his son the story
       of his own life-from an impoverished childhood to combat 
       in the Korean War and his shell-shocked return. Through 
       the fog of pain, Eldon relates to his son these desolate 
       moments, as well as his life's fleeting but nonetheless 
       crucial moments of happiness and hope, the sacrifices made
       in the name of love. And in telling his story, Eldon 
       offers his son a world the boy has never seen, a history 
       he has never known"--|cProvided by publisher.
