Short novel. HUGE impact.
Who was Shane? He came riding out of the wilderness and stayed a while, until his job was done.
Bob was a child whose farming family asked Shane to stay with them to work. The interactions with the family go far beyond what one would usually expect of a hired hand on a farm. The emotions run deep, especially with Bob.
Shane is both the most dangerous man and the safest man. This novel is amazing, profound and worth reading multiple times.
