Kings of Colorado Paperback - 2012
by David E. Hilton
In this heartfelt portrait of a bygone era, a man reflects on his troubled childhood at a boys' reformatory, where troubled youths care for wild horses as untamed as the boys themselves.
Summary
Now in paperbacka heartfelt portrait of young men in a bygone age ( Kirkus Reviews ) about troubled boys, wild horses, and the high price of a childhood lost.
Thirteen-year-old William Sheppard stabs his abusive father and is sent to the Swope Ranch Boys Reformatory, setting off a string of events that ultimately leads to a horrifying end in the Colorado mountains. Along the way, he befriends three boys who become his surrogate family. Their work together taming horses brings peace, as the boys struggle to survive a world of hurt and shocking cruelty wherein the only thing they can rely on is each other as the laws of normal society are stripped away.
With a backbone of heart-wrenching suspense, Kings of Colorado is a beautiful portrayal of brotherhood set against the nobility, danger, and wildness of youth and horses. The bonds between man and beast, along with other themes of community, friendship, and atonement are boldly explored on every page. Kings of Colorado illustrates just how easily innocence can be stripped away, robbing us of something most precious: childhood.
