The Cold November Son (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456427320)

Manhood, it is that imaginary line that every teenage boy must cross, but when a teenage boy in a small town in South Dakota takes what he believes is a first step out of adolescence, he has no idea how close to the line of adulthood he is stepping. The summer of 1983 starts innocently enough for thirteen year old Tommy, with the gift of a shotgun and an invitation to join his father in the upcoming pheasant hunting season. However, the innocence of that moment quickly evaporates, as the son learns that life isn't as perfect, as it may once have appeared to be. As the days of summer pass, the complexities of life reveal themselves, and Tommy soon learns a dark secret that his father has held closely. With a decaying relationship with his mother growing, and a father who is trying to fit a lifetime of lessons into one summer, Tommy is about to come face to face with a decision that no teenager should ever have to make. The Cold November Son takes the reader on a voyage that explores the boundaries of love and mercy. It is a love story unlike any you have read before. Will the son honor his father's wishes? What secrets will be revealed? Those questions will be answered, as Tommy is about to partake in one final and violent act of kindness? Come along on the journey and see for yourself.
