Carl and his brother, Adam, are Polish Catholics living in Portland. After Adam is suspected of stealing, the boys are confronted with the city's anti-Catholic sentiment and the KKK. Set against the backdrop of 1922's Oregon School Question, the story provides an intriguing look into history. Though Carl's endless introspection slows the plot, readers will care about him and his brother.
