Set amid the grandeur of the high Colorado Rockies and the gentle beauty of the Front Range, Morning Is Always Nigh by John Wickersham describes a remarkable year of improbable adventures in the life of Danny Gray and his two older siblings, Mary and John. Between the summers of 1956 and 1957, the Gray kids come of age as they save a trout named Fred, go jeeping in the mountains, explore ghost towns, hunt a cougar, fly fish for wild trout, encounter the mysterious 'Strange Critter, ' rescue a soon-to-be mother in labor during a blizzard, and mostly live with abandon. Through their experiences - some harebrained, some harrowing, some touching, and all instructive - Danny comes to see that he has a role in the great majestic dance that is life.
