Owen Tanner was no one?s ideal uncle. Lucky for Jesse, his uncle didn?t care.
Jesse?s parents wanted to give their son a taste of the great outdoors, but the boy got rotten weather, cabin fever, and his no-fun Uncle Owen instead. A quiet, reclusive man with a mysterious past, Owen prefers the storm and the porch?s rocking chair to the tempests and tantrums inside.
When Jesse?s boredom turns to heart-pounding fear, he and Owen must team up to save their family. To Jesse?s surprise, he soon learns his dopey uncle is far more resourceful than he could have imagined.
Owen Tanner might be a lousy uncle, but mess with his family, and you?ll regret he ever rose from his rocking chair. For Owen, merely getting even is for amateurs.
The Shepherd is a gripping and often humorous and touching tale of adventure and redemption.
