The Road Home

The Road Home lies in the shadows of Manifest Destiny and Wounded Knee; it is etched into the landscape of an old man\x27s memory and into the stubborn dreams of a young man\x27s heart. In one of Jim Harrison\x27s greatest works, five members of the Northridge family narrate the tangled epic of their history on the expanses of the Nebraska plains. They strive to understand their fates, to reconcile with demons of the past, to live in accordance with the land and to die with grace. As the family grapples with the mysterious forces that both pull them apart and draw them inextricably back together, they must come to term with life\x27s greatest and hardest lessons: the deception of passion, the pain of love, the vitality of art, and the supplication to nature\x27s generosity and fury.
