About this title

About the Author:

Larry Watson teaches English at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point and lives in Plover, Wisconsin.

From AudioFile:

Beau Bridges's reading of this tragic story of a struggle between family loyalty and justice is outstanding. Twelve-year-old David Hayden's view of his family and his life is forever changed by the events in his small town. And, surprisingly, through a series of lies, the town itself is never totally aware of all the Hayden family problems and decisions. Bridges manages to convey the powerful emotions of David as well as all the adults involved. His subtle changes of tone and clear, distinct enunciation adds a richness and drama to Watson's characterizations. This fine work of fiction is enhanced and enriched by this narration. A real treasure! S.C.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
