Eighty-year-old Edith Goodnough lies in a hospital bed, IV taped to the back of her hand, police officer at her door. She is charged with murder. The clues: a sack of chicken feed slit with a knife, a milky-eyed dog tied outdoors one cold afternoon. The motives: the brutal business of farming and a family code of ethics as unforgiving as the winter prairie itself. Here, Kent Haruf delivers the sweeping tale of a woman of the American High Plains, as told by her neighbor, Sanders Roscoe. As Roscoe shares what he knows, Edith's tragedies unfold: a childhood of pre-dawn chores, a mother's death, a violence that leaves a father dependent on his children, forever enraged. Here is the story of a woman who sacrifices her happiness in the name of family--and then, in one gesture, reclaims her freedom.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Tie That Binds | Kent Haruf | Paperback | 9780375724381 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1763463","offer_id":50908117303554,"sku":"1763463","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61iR9Xcp5TL.jpg?v=1793287601","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/tie-that-binds","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
