Peace like a river / Leif Enger.
This miraculous tale of faith and family is told through the voice of Reuben Land, an eleven-year-old boy suffering from debilitating asthma in 1960s Minnesota. When Reuben's older brother, Davy, kills two marauders who have invaded the family home, the town is divided between those who see Davy as a hero and those who see him as a cold-blooded murderer. On the morning of his trial, Davy escapes from his jail cell, and his entire family takes to the road in an Airstream trailer to find him before he comes to harm. In the process, they also find what Reuben--whose every living day is a struggle--already knows: life is an incredible gift, and the world is filled with more magic and miracles than we often care to recognize. "Make of it what you will," Reuben advises.
