But to one family who bought it as an attempt to renew themselves it was home, a place they desperately tried to hold on to and yet, after seventeen years of living there, the very place from which they wanted to escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing up under its leaking roof, Brandon R. Schrand watched a cast of broken characters pass through the hotel doors--an alcoholic artist, a forgotten boxing champ, an ex-con, a homeless family--and tried to find his own identity among those revolving faces. Haunted by a father he had never seen, he tested the faces of those drifters for familiarity. Winner of the River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize, \u003cem\u003eThe Enders Hotel\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the promises and warnings of western boomtown life--stories of alcoholism, murder, betrayal, hope, and finally, redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrandon R.
