In Holt, Colorado, a small town east of Denver, a high school teacher is confronted with raising his two boys alone after their mother retreats first to bed & then altogether. A teenage girl - her father long since disappeared, her mother unwilling to have her in the house - is pregnant, alone herself, with nowhere to go. On the outskirts, out on the High Plains, two elderly bachelors farm as they always have, with great knowledge & experience - except of all they have missed. From these unsettled lives emerges a vision of life, & of the town & landscape that bind them together - their fates somehow overcoming the circumstances of place & station that seem so powerful.Haruf, Kent is the author of 'Plainsong', published 1999 under ISBN 9780375409059 and ISBN 037540905X.
