An interwoven story of a pregnant high school girl, a lonely teacher, a pair of boys abandoned by their mother and a couple of crusty old bachelor farmers.

Even after displaying the shortcomings of them, the author causes you to emphasize and grow to care about all the characters named.

Good one!
