WILDERNESS
WELLER, LANCE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Thirty years after the Civil War’s Battle of the Wilderness left him maimed, Abel Truman has found his way to the
edge of the continent, the rugged, majestic coast of Washington State, where he lives alone in a driftwood shack
with his beloved dog. Wilderness is the story of Abel, now an old and ailing man, and his heroic final journey over
the snowbound Olympic Mountains. It’s a quest he has little hope of completing but still must undertake to settle
matters of the heart that predate even the horrors of the war. As Abel makes his way into the foothills, the
violence he endures at the hands of two thugs who are after his dog is crosscut with his memories of the horrors
of the war, the friends he lost, and the savagery he took part in and witnessed. And yet, darkness is cut by light,
especially in the people who have touched his life—from Jane Dao-Ming Poole, the daughter of murdered
Chinese immigrants, to Hypatia, an escaped slave who nursed him back to life, and finally to the unbearable
memory of the wife and child he lost as a young man.
