Book Overview

Sandburrs is a novel by Alfred Henry Lewis that tells the story of a young man named Jim Goad, who is forced to leave his home in Texas after accidentally killing a man in a bar fight. He travels north and ends up in a small town in Kansas, where he finds work as a farmhand. There, he falls in love with the daughter of his employer, but their relationship is threatened by the arrival of a rival suitor. Meanwhile, Jim's past catches up with him when a group of men come looking for him, seeking revenge for the man he killed. As tensions rise and violence looms, Jim must confront his past and decide whether to run or stand and fight for his future.
