This debut novel from the award-winning author of "Dog Run Moon: Stories" is a must-read for anyone who loves a good coming-of-age story.
One reader shared, "I felt deeply, painfully for August as he tries to discover what it is to be a man. He's such a well-wrought character, the kind who, after you finish the book, you feel despair that you are no longer part of his life. I really, properly loved it." 🌟 This sentiment is echoed by many who have been touched by August's story.
Set against the backdrop of the American Midwest, the novel follows August from age twelve to nineteen.

Here, he learns that even the smallest communities have their own dark secrets.
August is an average twelve-year-old who loves dogs and fishing and doesn't mind early-morning chores on his family's Michigan dairy farm. But life throws him curveballs that force him to grow up fast. From dealing with his parents' divorce to finding himself in the middle of a violent act, August's journey is one of resilience and self-discovery.
