Peace Like a River is the acclaimed debut novel by Leif Enger, first published in 2001. Set in 1960s Minnesota, the story is narrated by eleven-year-old Reuben Land, who recounts his family's extraordinary journey in search of his fugitive older brother, Davy. After Davy escapes from jail following his conviction for the murder of two intruders, the Land family—comprising Reuben, his younger sister Swede, and their devout father Jeremiah—embarks on a quest across the frozen Badlands of the Dakotas to find him. Throughout their journey, they encounter a series of miraculous events that test their faith and resilience. Enger's narrative masterfully weaves themes of family, faith, and the supernatural, offering readers a poignant exploration of the bonds that hold us together. The novel has been praised for its lyrical prose and richly drawn characters, earning a place as a modern classic in American literature.
