When he finally found the courage to refuse his father's criminal demands, he unwittingly triggered a plot of revenge that would force him into a deadly showdown with Thurston Crow. Through sheer determination, and with the help of a few angels along the way, David managed to get into college and achieve professional success. David's mom, too mentally ill to care for her children, couldn't protect him. Intimidating David with beatings, Thurston coerced his son into doing his criminal bidding. But as time passed, David discovered the other side of Thurston Crow, the ex-con with his own code of ethics that justified cruelty, violence, lies-even murder. Growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation, David Crow and his siblings idolized their dad, a self-taught Cherokee who loved to tell his children about his World War II feats.
