During the winter, with little work to be done on the farm, Eldon and Wayne spend the quiet hours with their family, listening to their uncle David's stories. But Eldon soon learns that, although he has lived on the same farm, in the same house with his uncle for eleven springs, summers, and winters, he hardly knows him. When Uncle David tells the story of ""The Woodcutter,"" Eldon immediately understands that this story is different from any other. It is a powerful and terrible story that changes everything for the brothers.
