Fourth of July Creek by Smith HendersonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was spectacular.
It was about a social worker in Montana who becomes involved with a family of survivalists. He tries to help their children and befriend the father, but building trust takes a long time. Meanwhile, his own family is falling apart - his wife takes his daughter to live in Texas, and his daughter runs away. The parallels of different broken families was well-crafted but not over-wrought.
I literally can't think of a single thing negative (or even neutral) to say about the characters, plot, writing, style, or composition of this book. Just amazing.
