Author: Paul Legler
Description: Jake was the ultimate big brother: cool, suave with the girls, tough, and a Vietnam veteran. Peter, the younger brother, was always the “good kid,” eventually becoming a monk at St. John’s Abbey. But they came of age on the North Dakota plains at a time when sex, drugs, and rock & roll blasted onto the prairie. Thirty years later, neither brother can escape his past.
“In Song of Destiny, Paul Legler vividly captures the harshness and beauty of the Great Plains and of the lives of two brothers shaped by it.”
—James Corcoran, author of Bitter Harvest
“Paul Legler’s Song of Destiny is a wise knitting of a stoic family’s troubling disintegration and penitent redemption in the starkest of places and darkest of times. Revealed with a compassionate eye and generous hand, Legler’s prose will guide you through the coldest of Dakota snows.”
—Nicole Helget, author of The Turtle Catcher
