New England Book Award Winner: A father and son smuggle liquor across the border in Depression-era Vermont in this “remarkable and wonderful” novel (The Christian Science Monitor).

This endearing novel is both a heroic adventure and a thrilling coming-of-age story. It is the memorable tale of a young man named Wild Bill Bonhomme, his larger-than-life father, Quebec Bill, and their whiskey-smuggling exploits along the Vermont-Canada border in 1932. On an epic journey through the wilderness, Bill and his father encounter a cast of wild characters -- and live out magical escapades as they carve their way into legend.

“Revives the tall tale with remarkable grace and intelligence…delightful.” -- The Washington Post

“Disappearances at its best is reminiscent of manic Faulkner, wild and violent and violently funny.” -- The Boston Herald
“Rollicking, boisterous, sprawling, [and] highly entertaining.” -- Harper's Magazine
