Krueger's tale takes us into the past--the story is told through the eyes of a man remembering his boyhood in the Midwest.

The novel swept the award circuit the year it was published, which was 2013. Most readers agree that it has a literary quality that makes the standalone a standout.

How did you feel about Frank Drum and his journey into the past?
