The Weight of the Journey Ken Byers

Set in the forests of southern Oregon, Nature and Human meet head to head with more at stake than the humans can grasp. Enter the prodigal son, Dewey Farrell. With each brush with death that leaves him alive and healing fast, he realizes there is a far greater purpose for calling him home to Banner County than he's yet to see. All the local conflicts - competition for the best pharmaceutical grade weed, Gold Night, escalating violence, and over it all the inexplicable Cloud - all are eager to put Farrell to their use. Nobody asked Farrell what he wanted.
