Crooked Creek
"...this rich book is a reader’s pleasure.”

—RON CARLSON

Sara and Preston, along with Sara’s clairvoyant brother Jasper, flee Arizona when they run afoul of American Indian artifact hunters. They arrive in Utah’s Heber Valley seeking shelter with Sara’s uncle, but they soon learn that they cannot escape the burden of memory or the crimes of the past. Set in the late 19th century, this rich, layered story resonates with the work of such authors as Cormac McCarthy and Wallace Stegner.

About the Author

Maximilian Werner is the author of the award–winning essay collection Black River Dreams, the novel Crooked Creek, the memoir Gravity Hill, the memoir/natural history Evolved, the essay collection The Bone Pile, and the book of poetry Cold Blessings. When he is not fly fishing on one of his favorite western waters, or wrist–deep in the garden dirt, or searching the wild places of Montana for wolves and grizzlies, he is at home writing or in the classroom teaching and trying to help humans live up to their potential as a species.
