Published 2009-06-16 · 291 pages

By the acclaimed author of The Highest Tide, a story of contrary destinies further complicated by the border that separates them.Six foot eight and severely dyslexic, Brandon Vanderkool has always had an unusual perspective--which comes in handy once his father pushes him off their dairy farm and into the Border Patrol. He used to jump over the ditch into British Columbia but now is responsible for policing a thirty-mile stretch of this largely invisible boundary.
