This was a "community read" book selected for the Kansas City metro area in the early 2000s. I remember attending a discussion group to talk about the book, but I hardly remember much of the book. Here's a review from the 2013 PageADay Book Lover's Calendar:

Set in a small community on the plains of Colorado, this novel tells the interwoven stories of several beautifully delineated characters. Chief among them is Tom, a high school history teacher whose wife has recently abandoned him and their two boys, and Victoria, a teenage girl who’s thrown out of her home when it’s discovered that she’s pregnant. Although the characters face enormous challenges, the novel ultimately celebrates their resilience and interdependence.
