Dire family circumstances cause the boys to be placed with elderly foster parents, Bill and Mary, at the head Paces's Branch. These temporary \"parents\" live off the land and supplement their old-age pension with a secret moonshine still. And the boys adjust to a lifestyle that remains a century behind the times. It's a coming of age story that asks the question: why can't all life lessons just be funny, instead of painful, or embarrassing, or, as is usual with these two brothers, all three at the same time?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jody Hogg, Forester Hogg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477518665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477518663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.42d","brand":"Jody Hogg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254948851967,"sku":"9781477518663","price":8.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81ae5d6e-b508-4a97-b11d-3864d7a60f52.jpg?v=1694615235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roxana-jody-hogg-9781477518663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
