The novel has been compared to the better-known True Grit and even has some elements of that novel. It is also well-written and has a simple plot that does not overstay its welcome. I don't know why it has never been made into a movie or made available on home video. The novel has only positive reviews, but if you are a fan of the film, then The Shack by William P. Young is the one for you.

As I said, The Shack by William P. Young is easily one of the best books about the life of outlaws ever written. The writer manages to capture the gruff, tough and yet affectionate persona of a criminal in a way that almost makes you feel for him (and vice versa). The book's protagonist, Frank, is the father of four children who were left by their mother in order to escape from an abusive marriage. Once they escaped, however, their mother died and they were forced to live in the woods. They survived for nearly two years before they were captured and Frank soon learned that his father was being paid to protect the plantations by a crooked lawman, Quincey Morris.
