But as it turns out, Donal isn’t traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. After one contretemps too many, Kate packs him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German, and Donal can’t seem to get on her good side either. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate–bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical-is nothing like her sister. But when Gram has to have surgery for “female trouble” in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig’s beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an eleven-year-old’s imagination. Named a Best Book of the Year by the Seattle Times and Kirkus Review The final novel from a great American storyteller.
