The Big Rock Candy Mountain
of Wallace Stegner
Description
Bo Mason, his wife, Elsa, and their two boys live a transient life of poverty and despair. Drifting from town to town and from state to state, the violent, ruthless Bo seeks out his fortuneâin the hotel business, in new farmland, and, eventually, in illegal rum-running through the treacherous back roads of the American Northwest.
