Peace Like a River by Leif Enger

Novel
I read this book three years ago, but it has stayed with me. It is written as a flashback from the point of view of an adolescent boy in small-town Minnesota in the 1960's. It tells the story of a family trying to find a son fleeing from a violent act. It is a moving, poetically told tale with the enduring themes of family and faith.
