Eventide, Kent Haruf

Hardback, 1st Edition US, Very Good Condition.

When the McPheron brothers see Victoria Roubideaux, the single mother theyd taken in, move from their ranch to begin college, an emptiness opens before themand for many other townspeople it also promises to be a long, hard winter. A young boy living alone with his grandfather helps out a neighbor whose husband, off in Alaska, suddenly isnt coming home, leaving her to raise their two daughters. At school the children of a disabled couple suffer indignities that their parents know all too well in their own lives, with only a social worker to look after them and a violent relative to endanger them further. But in a small town a great many people encounter one another frequently, often surprisingly, and destinies soon become entwinedfor good and for illas they confront events that sorely test the limits of their resilience and means, with no refuge available except what their own character and that of others afford them.
