Winterhawk: A Story of Hazards and Dreams

By Bob Erickson

As the winter of 1968 turns to spring with assassinations, race riots and a war in a tiny country called Vietnam, fifteen-year-old Clifford "Cleek" Carlson anxiously awaits the start of the golf season in the remote town of Pyrite, Minnesota. On the first day of summer, college girl Katy Winter shows up at the golf course. Cleek gives her a nickname: Winterhawk.

Winterhawk throws the sleepy town of Pyrite into turmoil by openly showing her love for a Black man and by trying to win the town's major "men's" golf tournaments. Cleek is torn between supporting her and competing with her. Their rivalry drives his golf game - and his emotions - to new heights. By the end of a summer he will never forget, Cleek has gained new perspectives on race relations, women's rights and love.
