An Unfinished Life by Mark Spragg
In an extraordinary tale of love and forgiveness, Mark Spragg brings us this novel of a complex, prodigal homecoming.After escaping the last of a long string of abusive boyfriends, Jean Gilkyson and her ten-year-old daughter Griff have nowhere left to go. Nowhere except Ishawooa, Wyoming, where Jean's estranged father-in-law, Einar, still blames her for the death of his son. Though Einar isn't glad to see either of them, Griff falls in love with his sprawling ranch and quiet way of life, as she slowly gets to know his crippled old friend Mitch, the cats that lurk in the barn at milking time, and finally the grandfather she had lost for so many years. An emotionally charged story of hard-won friendship and reconciliation, An Unfinished Life shows a novelist of extraordinary talents in the fullness of his powers.
Mark Spragg is the author of the memoir Where Rivers Change Course, which won the Mountains and Plains Booksellers Award, as well as the novels The Fruit of Stone and An Unfinished Life, which was named the Best Novel of 2004 by the Rocky Mountain News. All three books made Book Sense's top ten list, and they've been translated into fifteen languages. He and his wife, Virginia, live in Wyoming.
