Burning Fence: A Western Memoir of Fatherhood

A memoir of startling emotion and grace, Burning Fence is the story of the men of Craig Lesley's family: absent father Rudell, tough step-father Hecker, adopted son Wade, and Craig Lesley himself. Their story is one of hardship, violence, and cautious, heartbreaking attempts toward compassion. Lesley's fearless journey through his family history provides a remarkable portrait of hard-living in the western states, and confirms his place as one of the region's very best storytellers.
