Seeds of Salton - Tapa blanda

Seeds of Salton is a moving story of courage, love, and the transforming power of forgiveness. Sixteen-year-old Grady Kramer has so much hate for his alcoholic, abusive father that he comes within a hair-trigger of killing him on a hunting excursion. Grady adopts an indestructible spirit in sync with the iron-hard land of Montana and moves on in life. A bona fide risk-taker, he’s not afraid of anyone or anything; he works as a roughneck in the oilfields and catches rattlesnakes as a hobby. It’s not until he marries and settles into family life that the haunts of his childhood catch up to him when he least expects it.
