‘The son’ spans three generations of the
McCullough family of Texas. The wealthy family chose a harsh life on the
frontiers, facing violence, loneliness and frontier justice at its worst to
hold onto the vast lands that their family is tied to. The protagonist Eli
McCullough sets a pace of mistakes and misadventures his future son and
granddaughter will each unknowingly make for themselves in this beautifully
dark coming of age tale. The book alternates between first and third person
using highly descriptive language to style the beauty and danger of the
frontier.
