We are hosting Charlie J. Stephens for an author signing! Come check out A Wounded Deer Leaps Highest.
In 1980's Oregon, Smokey is figuring out how to survive childhood with a young mom who is increasingly desperate in her search for love. As their mother's boyfriends come and go, Smokey aches for the comfort and safety their mother can never quite provide. When a dangerous new man moves into the house, Smokey seeks refuge in the nearby forests--finding comfort as they give themselves over to the strength and beauty of the natural world.
"Charlie J. Stephens hands to the reader the heartbeat of the earth and the heartbeat of every living creature on it. A pulsing novel filled with so much love and tenderness."
—MORGAN TALTY, National Bestselling author of Night of the Living Rez
"Utterly gorgeous. I wish I had this book growing up, I wish my mother had this book, and her mother, and everyone who has ever had to turn their pain into meaning. This novel feels like breathing in the lushness of the forest, where all our past memories, both difficult and joyful, greet us animals in the night."
—KALI FAJARDO-ANSTINE, National Book Award Finalist and bestselling author of Woman of Light
In prose drenched with awe, Charlie J. Stephens's tender novel A Wounded Deer Leaps Highest takes a child's perspective on the pains of being poor in rural Oregon."
—FOREWORD REVIEWS, starred review
"A Wounded Deer Leaps Highest offers a harrowing and wholly realistic story of suffering, but also a message about resiliency, the healing power of nature, and simple survival. "Being alive can sometimes feel like a miracle, even as you let it go." Stephens's debut will shock its readers with love, pain, and fresh perspective."
