Opis

This book chronicles the relationship between Devereaux Meehan, a cantankerous construction worker and his youngest son, nicknamed Big Guy. After serving in the Navy during World War II, Devereaux married Priscilla in 1947. By the time Big Guy was born in 1958, the Meehans already had five other children. The family gets swept up in the turbulent times of the 1960s and after a clash with his children and the death of one son, Devereaux and his son Big Guy grow close as they spend time driving together on the back roads of the American West. After purchasing a remote piece of land in Washington State, Big Guy and Devereaux are brought closer together in an immense landscape that serves to bridge two very different generations.
