Publisher's summary

Eight years ago, Mary and Freddy Gale's young daughter was killed by a drunk driver on her way home from school. The driver, a young man named John Booth, was sentenced to eight years in prison. Unable to absolve their own guilt, the Gale's marriage dissolves and Mary takes their two remaining children away from Freddy.

Quenching his thirst for vengeance with alcohol, Freddy Gale waits for John Booth's release, planning his revenge. He becomes a man obsessed. On the day of Booth's release, with his soul howling in agony, he is ready.

John Booth, at once strengthened and weakened by his prison experiences, also waits. Still seeking a final penance, he endures his own agonies until the day he gets a gun to reclaim his life.
