Weed Memorial & Hollander Branch Book Discussion Via Zoom: This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger

This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger

In the summer of 1932, Odie O’Banion is an orphan confined to the Lincoln Indian Training School. Forced to flee after committing a terrible crime, he and his brother, Albert, their best friend, Mose, and a brokenhearted little girl named Emmy steal away in a canoe, heading for the Mississippi and a place to call their own.

Over the course of one summer, these four orphans journey into the unknown and cross paths with others who are adrift, from struggling farmers and traveling faith healers to displaced families and lost souls. With the feel of a modern classic, This Tender Land is a big-hearted epic that shows how the American landscape connects us all and makes us whole.
