      August is an average twelve year old - he likes dogs and fishing, and doesn't even mind early morning chores on his family's farm. When his parents' marriage falls apart and he has to start over in a new town, he tries hard to be an average teen - playing football and doing his homework - but he struggles to form friendships, and when a shocking act of violence pushes him off course once more, he flees to rural Montana. There, as he throws himself into work on a ranch, he comes to learn that even the smallest of communities have secrets and even the most broken of families have a bond. Beautifully written and unfolding against an epic American landscape, August is a compelling, authentic and poignant story of the joys and traumas that irrevocably shape us all.

      Život na úpatí montanského pohoří za hranicí Yellowstonského národního parku nepromíjí chyby. Zimy jsou tu neúprosné a ne každý si může dovolit dříví na otop. Své o tom vědí i mladí bratři Thad a Hazen, kteří si rozvozem dříví vydělávají. Potíže s penězi je nevyhnutelně přivedou k dalším způsobům, jak si zajistit živobytí – možná že odpověď na jejich problémy leží právě ve střeženém Yellowstonu, v němž na člověka čekají požáry, zima, jeleni, vlci i medvědi. Kdo se ale do divočiny vydá, musí se potýkat také sám se sebou. Na pozadí krásy stále ještě odolávající americké divočiny se totiž v románu Callana Winka vyjevuje především síla lidské povahy, vůle a vytrvalosti.
