Calves in the Mud Room

By Jerome O. Brown

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. But with him gone and his mom and step dad busy with their own booze-fueled train wrecks, Wade is left to confront bringing a new life into the world on his own.And hopefully still make it to the dance with Glory.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.
