Angel of Repose

Wallace Stegner's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a story of discovery--

personal, historical, and geographical. Confined to a wheelchair, retired

historian Lyman Ward sets out to write his grandparents' remarkable story,

chronicling their days spent carving civilization into the surface of

America's western frontier. But his research reveals even more about his own

life than he's willing to admit. What emerges is an enthralling portrait of

four generations in the life of an American family.
