That is until Jamal Wallace, a brash 16-year-old with a secret passion for writing, invades Forrester's sheltered existence in the South Bronx and re-ignites the dreams of this literary legend in the winter of his life.
Known as the neighborhood recluse, Forrester is a man whose mystery and eccentricity border on the mythical. When Jamala talented African-American scholar-athlete who is recruited by an elite Manhattan prep school for his brilliance on and off the basketball court sneaks into his apartment and accidentally leaves behind his backpack full of writings, they both get something unexpected in return.
Forced to look past skin color and suppositions, Jamal encounters not only his first fan, but a mentor who will challenge change him forever, and Forrester has his first reason in years to emerge from his self-imposed solitude.

ON THE BACK COVER
IN MID-OCTOBER, in the rich pear- and apple-growing region of Washington state's Columbia Basin, retired heart surgeon Ben Givens learns that he has terminal colon cancer. Determined to avoid his suffering, Ben sets out with his two hunting dogs through the sage deserts, canyons, and orchards of the American West on his last hunt. But the people he meets and the memories he evokes on his journey test his very identity. Full of humanity, passion, and moral honesty, East of the Mountains is a bold novel of immense beauty.
"Profound and ambitious ... East of the Mountains is not about the courage it takes to die, but the courage it takes to live, and Guterson depicts this moral and spiritual struggle with a clear-eyed intensity and intelligence that gives [this novel] its essential authority."Chicago Tribune
