From best-selling author of Eventide, The Tie That Binds is a powerfully eloquent tribute to the arduous requirements of rural America and of the tenacity of the real human spirit. Colorado, January 1977. Eighty-year-old Edith Goodnough lies in a hospital foundation, IV taped to the trunk of her side, police officer at her door. She actually is priced with murder. The signs: a sack of fowl give food to slit with a blade, a milky-eyed dog linked outdoors one frosty day. The motives: the brutal business of farming and a family code of ethics as unforgiving as the winter prairie itself. Here, Kent Haruf offers the sweeping story of a female of the North american High Plains, as advised by her neighbor, Sanders Roscoe. As Roscoe shares what he knows, Edith's tragedies unfold: a child years of predawn tasks, a mother's loss of life, a violence that leaves a dad reliant on his children, forever enraged. Here is the story of a female who sacrifices her joy in the name of family - and then, in one gesture, reclaims her liberty.
