Beskrivning

After his parents' divorce, August struggles to start over again in a new town. And when a shocking act of violence pushes him off course, he is once more on the move: this time to rural Montana, where he takes a job on a ranch. Here, he learns that even the smallest communities have secrets and even the most broken of families still have a bond. Unfolding against an epic American landscape, August is a magnificent, moving story about the joys and traumas that irrevocably shape us all.
