Summary Growing up under its leaking roof, Brandon R. Schrand watched a cast of broken characters pass through the hotel doors?an alcoholic artist, a forgotten boxing champ, an ex-con, a homeless family?and tried to find his own identity among those revolving faces. Haunted by a father he had never seen, he tested the faces of those drifters for familiarity. Winner of the River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize, The Enders Hotel reveals the promises and warnings of western boomtown life?stories of alcoholism, murder, betrayal, hope, and finally, redemption
