A teenager witnesses a brutal murder but is forbidden by his parents to reveal what he knows in much-loved Northwest writer Tom Spanbauer's very first novel, Faraway Places, reissued in a new edition by Portland's Hawthorne Books, with an introduction by A.M. Homes. "Balancing the hero's sensitivity against the harsh reality of farm life in the 1950s, Spanbauer tells his short, brutal story with delicacy and deep respect for place and character. Forceful and moving, this novel is a promising debut." - Publishers Weekly.
