James Van Pelt

Set in Denver, Colorado, and the western foothills, Van Pelt's first novel is both a coming-of-age tale as 15-year-old Eric searches for his father, and a story of Eric's search 60 years later for hope in the midst of disaster in a world of blood bandits, feral children, and an insane militia.
