About This Item
New York: St Martin's Press, 2005. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. Signed by the author on the title page. A memoir of startling emotion and grace, Burning Fence is the story of the men in Craig Lesley's family: absent father, Rudell, tough stepfather, Vern, adopted son, Wade, and Craig Lesley himself.

Craig Lesley, three-time winner of the Pacific Northwest Bookseller Award, and was twice a nominee for a Pulitzer Prize, as well as winning a Silver Spur Award,
