Levi's older brother Boaz returns from fighting with the Marines in the Middle East. He's safe. Levi's family has waited three long years for this. But Boaz is no longer the brother Levi thought he knew. Even if nobody else wants to see it, Levi can tell that Boaz has changed; something's wrong. When Boaz announces he's off to hike the Appalachian Trail, Levi knows he's lying. He's heading somewhere else. So Levi follows, determined to understand who his brother was, what he's been through, and how to bring him home again.

Reviews for The Things a Brother Knows

<p>Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, August 15, 2010: <br> The emotional journey is leavened with humor and a little romance, but it moves toward the conclusion with an inevitability that grabs and doesn't let go. Every character contributes and brings a point of view that adds to a fuller picture of the personal consequences of war without being simplistically pro or anti. Powerful. <br><br>Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, August 30, 2010: <br> With exceptional sensitivity, Reinhardt (How to Build a House) chronicles a soldier's troubling homecoming, in this timely novel told from his younger brother's point of view . . . Reinhardt personalizes a soldier's traumas in terms civilians can understand. Levi's growing comprehension of Boaz's internal turmoil is gracefully and powerfully evoked. <br><br>Starred Review, Booklist, October 1, 2010: <br> Reinhardt's poignant story of a soldier coping with survivor's guilt and trauma, and his Israeli American family's struggle to understand and help, is timely and honest. <br><br><br> From the Hardcover edition.
