"Henry can't read. He stutters and has a clubfoot. And one day, in a violent fit of anger, he lashes out at the only family he has -- his mother. Sent to live with other troubled boys at the Home of Lesser Brethren, an isolated farm perched in the craggy lava fields along the unforgiving Icelandic coast, Henry finds a precarious contentment among the cows. But the manic preacher who runs the home is not content, and as he tries to reshape the farm in his image, he will change the lives of every boy who lives there in unexpected ways," -- Book Jacket.
