Montana, 1980 A modern Western story about family and adventure.The high country of Montana is as beautiful as it is hard, as challenging as it is sweet. The grass, the hills, the jagged peaks and valleys and the magnificent mountains bring pride to every Montanan. The Bowdins are a three generational family living the land, cattle, the ranch they run, and it has taken all they have to give. Jim Bowdin, Sr. a two-war man who has fought for his country and for the land he owns. Big Jim, the son, a Viet Nam veteran, who has taken over the ranch in a generational struggle about family, love and the land itself and Jimmy, a coming of age story in the making and who is torn between the love of an old man, his grandfather and his father, a hard man to love. This is their story. This is the journey they take in rediscovering who they are and on how to love.

From a bakery to the sea to the homeless, Where the Leaves Darken will enlighten on every page.

" Many poets can scratch words onto paper, but they lack the painter's eye that turns those words into images that rise from the page to take our breath away. Mr. Pelcman is what we might call a verbal cinematographer. His words often arrive with familiar experiences, causing us to nod our heads as we watch them unfold quietly, gently before us. And then, without warning, he delivers a sledgehammer's blow that slams an event before us--one that we don't deserve to share--and it hangs in memory like a fishhook in the mind's eye. A poet whose body and soul carry the baggage of his years with dignity and grace, Steven Pelcman's poetry has already made its mark. It will be read far into the future." (Dan Masterson, Award Winning Poet)
