Description

In rural Minnesota, Denny Voss leads a modest life shaped by family, routine, and an unwavering devotion to his blind and deaf Saint Bernard—until he is charged with murdering a mayoral candidate. As a court-appointed therapist helps him reconstruct the strange chain of events that brought him to trial, Denny’s good intentions collide with mishaps, old wounds, and the unexpected consequences of loyalty. Both poignant and darkly funny, this compassionate novel explores disability, family secrets, justice, and the search for independence. At its heart is a moving portrait of a man learning that defining his own future may be the bravest thing he has ever done.
