Narrator Levi's older brother Boaz returns from war, a shell of his former self. Levi uncovers Boaz's plan to travel from Boston to Washington, D.C., on foot, and joins him on his quest. The family dynamic is drawn with a deft and subtle hand in this timely book that hints at damage done to soldiers in the long term.
