English Creek by Ivan Doig
Set in the rugged landscape of Montana during the summer of 1939, the story follows the coming-of-age journey of fourteen-year-old Jick McCaskill. As he navigates the complexities of adolescence, Jick grapples with family tensions, particularly between his father, a forest ranger, and his older brother, who defies expectations by choosing a different path. Against the backdrop of the impending war and the changing American West, Jick's experiences and observations offer a poignant exploration of identity, responsibility, and the bonds that hold a family together.
