East of the Mountains by David Guterson

I really like the way Guterson told this story through flash backs.  A man is dying of cancer and has decided to end his life instead of suffering and putting his family through it all.  He plans everything and then goes hunting, something he has done his whole life.  A series of events changes things for him along the way.  We learn a lot about who he is as a person now and how he was when he was younger and growing up.  It was very well told and very touching and heartfelt.  Truly a very good novel.
