An Indie Next PickAn Amazon Best BookIt's 1963, and Calvin Sidey, one of the last of the old cowboys, has long ago left his family to live a life of self-reliance out on the prairie. Then his estranged son asks him to stay with his grandchildren for a week while he and his wife are away. But in the changing culture of the 1960s, Calvin isn't just a relic -- he's a wild card."Watson's achievement lies in the expertly woven details of a bygone era into contemporary society, while deftly portraying the tensions created when violence is used to solve modern conflicts. It is a rare work that so successfully explores the dichotomy of this divide with such emotional honesty, grace and tenderness. It is a pleasure to watch Watson further secure his place in American letters. For fans of Ivan Doig, Kent Haruf, Jim Harrison and Gran Torino." -- Bill's Bookshelf Selector, Bill Kelly
