Mr. Jerome O Brown

Calves in the Mud Room Mr. Jerome O Brown 第1 版

Wade Summers wants nothing more than to go on his date tonight with high school hottie Glory Schoonover. Unfortunately, a fierce February blizzard has blown in and a couple of first-time heifers are calving early. Way too early. And Wade's never delivered a calf all by himself before. His grandfather was always there to show him the way. Simmering under the teenage hormones and unexpected birthing is a dutiful son who finally confronts the abuse of his shady stepfather and a betrayal by his somewhat disengaged mother. Kirkus Reviews called this coming-of-age story "An exciting, elegant debut." It's rough around the edges, full of brutal hardship, raw strength, and pure heart.
