End of Summer - Softcover

A beautiful, mystical fable that reaffirms belief in the power of the human spirit. When twelve-year-old Nick Harper loses his father in an automobile accident, he enters a period of mourning that threatens to engulf him. As his mother, also injured in the crash, lies comatose, he wanders about his family's farm in a world of his own. Yet as the early summer sun warms the earth, something awakens inside Nick, a force of nature that actually begins his healing.
