The Cannibal OwlThe Cannibal Owl

Aaron Gwyn's The Cannibal Owl takes readers into 1820s Texas, weaving a coming-of-age narrative set on the American frontier. Based on the true story of Levi English, a settler who, as a young boy, ran away to live with the Comanche (Nermernuh) People, the novel explores his sense of not fully belonging, even within a community that offers more kindness than his own family. As tensions rise among the tribal leaders, Levi faces challenging decisions regarding loyalty and survival in the face of grief and ongoing violence.--
