Sinopsis

It is January 1948. Nine-year-old Philip Wade and his family have been uprooted and moved to the small Eastern Oregon town of Baker City, where Philip&rsquo,s father, Kenneth Wade, will begin his career as a mortician. In the spring, the father hires a local recluse, Jack O&rsquo,Brien, to help put a new roof on their house. Three weeks later, when a school teacher is found beaten to death, Jack O&rsquo,Brien is accused of her murder. Kenneth Wade emerges as the only person who defends O&rsquo,Brien&mdash,fully believing the man to be innocent. Philip is a spellbound spectator and narrator of his father&rsquo,s consuming struggle to save a man he barely knows. Conversely, he witnesses his mother&rsquo,s determination to keep the specter of violence from distorting the lives of her sons.Twisted into the father&rsquo,s fixation to wrest Jack O&rsquo,Brien from custodyáis the relentless memory of a boyhood friend who, wrongly accused of a killing, hanged himself in his jail cell. This long-ago horror drives Kenneth Wade, he is caught up in the terrible present because of a past that will not let him go. Baker City 1948 is the story of a man&rsquo,s struggle for truth as told to us by the boy who was watching him.
