Henry's brother, Franklin, is comatose after a car accident involving a young Cambodian immigrant. Henry and his dog set off to Maine to climb Mt. Katahdin, as he and Franklin had planned to do together. Set in the 1970s, Schmidt's story presents three unforgettable characters--Henry, his friend Sanborn, and the accused Cambodian boy--and explores how tragedy and racism affect communities.
