Description
This is the story of the year my brother joined the Army at my father's urging and later deserted, disappearing north of the Allagash, into Canada, and the story of the few days when our family reached its breaking point, and we realized we would have to survive without each other. It was a month after Christmas, and I had just turned fifteen. At the time my father was lobstering around Pigeon Hill Bay, and earlier that afternoon he'd pulled up in front of the high school all hurry and sharp words, growling "Get in" through the dropped window.
