After the Civil War, Capt. Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels around northern Texas, reading newspapers aloud to paying crowds. Then he agrees to return ten-year-old Johanna, raised among the Kiowa after they killed her parents, to relatives 400 miles south in San Antonio. From New York Times best-selling author Jiles, twice long-listed for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. In this follow-up to Born Again, a New York Public Library best book, Kerney sweeps through 100 years of Guatemalan history, from government corruption in 1902 to an adoptive mother's realization that the past never stays past in 1999.
