Synopsis
Reuben Land narrates this tale, looking back on his childhood to remember when he and his sister and his father tracked his brother Davy--who has escaped from prison--across North Dakota to the Badlands. As Reuben tells the story, his sister Swede is composing her own precocious adventure yarn, in rhymed couplets, about the hero, Sunny Sundown, and a bandit named Valdez.

Industry Reviews
"Enger writes on the precarious edge of traditionalism. He veers toward sentimentality, but the strength of his story and characters keeps his novel real....The miracle of PEACE LIKE A RIVER is the irresistibility of a well-told tale: you won't believe it, but this is what happened."
Ruminator Review - C. K. Hubbuch
"[A]s clichéd as [Enger's] basic enterprise is, he manages to infuse sections of this novel with some surprisingly lively writing and deftly turned sentences. But ultimately the book suffers from a surplus of pretension...and a dearth of surprises. Enger's world, full of simple pleasures and populated by deep-thinking naïfs, seems unlikely to have ever existed, in this century or any other."
New York Times Book Review - Katherine Dieckmann (09/09/2001)
