"This tale of twelve-year-old Eugene Ahern's evolution from boyhood to manhood in rural Pennsylvania in 1960 is a lush story of time and place, entwined with an engrossing plot that reveals just enough. O'Keeffe's adroit use of rich, descriptive prose and attention to detail draw us deeply into the era and location, yet its message and appeal are universal. Though it is tempting to read the novel quickly to find out what happens to Eugene and his friends, take the time to savor the beauty and elegance of O�Keeffe�s use of language. These passages are sure to touch a place in your soul, as does the tale. Enjoy " �Donna M. Lueke, author and former editor of The Beacon
