A beautiful little gem of a book; a coming-of-age story set in a tiny Montana town in the years after WWII, when a 12-year-old boy comes to understand that the world is not made up of black and white, that not all adults are infallible, and that sometimes the choice between what is loved and what is right are two very different things.

Fans of Kent Haruf will eat this one up, but anyone who wants to peek inside the human heart will appreciate it.
