From the nineteenth century German immigrants who settled on a small Midwestern farm, to the proud and upright aunts and uncles with whom Sandlin spent the summers of his youth, a whole history of quiet ambition and stoic pride--of successes, failures, and above all endurance--leaps off the page in a sweeping American family epic. Touching on The Great Depression, WWII, and the American immigrant experience, \u003ci\u003eThe Distancers\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful and stark Midwestern drama, about a time and place long since vanished, where the author learned the value of family and the art of keeping one's distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLee Sandlin is the author of \u003ci\u003eWicked River\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStorm Kings\u003c\/i\u003e, and The \u003ci\u003eDistancers\u003c\/i\u003e.
