Calves In The Mud Room

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 showhim the way.)Simmering under the teenage hormones and unexpected birthing is a dutiful son who finally comforts 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 brute hardship, raw strength, and pure heart.
