Description
Levi’s older brother Boaz returns from fighting with the Marines in the Middle East. He’s safe. Levi’s family has waited three long years for this. But Boaz is no longer the brother Levi thought he knew. Even if nobody else wants to see it, Levi can tell that Boaz has changed; something’s wrong. When Boaz announces he’s off to hike the Appalachian Trail, Levi knows he’s lying. He’s heading somewhere else. So Levi follows, determined to understand who his brother was, what he’s been through, and how to bring him home again.
Although they have never gotten along well, 17-year-old Levi follows his older brother Boaz, an ex-Marine, on a walking trip from Boston to Washington, D.C., in hopes of learning why Boaz is completely withdrawn.
