Winter In The Blood by James Welch

Through a series of fragmented memories and encounters, he embarks on a poignant journey of self-discovery, confronting his painful past, including the loss of his brother and father, and his troubled relationship with his family and community. Set against the stark, unforgiving landscape of the American West, the narrative weaves a haunting tale of loss, despair, and the quest for identity and belonging, capturing the protagonist's internal struggle with a raw and powerful intensity.
