"Bro" by Robert Newton Peck
http://www.librarything.com/work/1788824
"Peck's latest begins with the train-and-car collision that kills 9-year-old Tug's parents--though he walks away unscathed..The story takes place in 1933, mainly on the Florida cattle ranch where Tug, who is mute, goes to live with his grandfather and in the prison where Bro is serving time, until his escape."
"Florida: 1933
"A train, rushing through the night ... a car, stalled in its path ... a boy's life, shattered. Tugwell Dockery hasn't spoken since the horrific events that unfolded one afternoon six years ago at his grandfather's ranch. Now he's back there, newly orphaned, living with his grandfather and gutsy great-aunt.
Broda Joe Dockery hasn't seen his brother since his incarceration two years ago at the Pecan County Correctional Labor Camp. Now, realizing Tug must live at the site of a tragedy he witnessed, Broda Joe knows he must be with his brother, even if it means breaking the law and risking his life."
