Eventide : a novel / Kent Haruf.

Haruf, Kent. (Author).

Summary:

This new novel opens with the brothers taking Victoria and her little daughter, Katie, off to Fort Collins, where Victoria is due to begin college. Facing a long winter alone, the brothers go back to their routine as cattle ranchers in Holt, CO, where tragedy awaits. In addition to familiar characters, we meet new faces. There is 11-year-old DJ Kephart, who cares for his 75-year-old grandfather. Next door to the Kepharts is Mary Wells, whose husband moved off to Alaska, leaving behind a bereft Mary uninterested in life or her kids. Luther and Betty June Wallace are trying to hang onto their two kids by visiting a social worker and taking parenting classes. But just as they seem to be making some headway, Betty June's no good uncle shows up to wreak havoc. Life is hard in this small rural town, and the problems of abuse, addiction, neglect, divorce, and loneliness are as pervasive as they are in big cities.
