Publisher's Synopsis
In 1952 on a Kentucky mountain, Jimmy and Curly are trapped by history and poverty. There are no roads. You walk or ride a mule or a horse, if you have one. What happens one summer, when the best friend and buddy you ever had in your whole life turns out to be a girl instead of a boy like you? You are best friends in high school and roommates in college. Then an abusive father with a shotgun changes everything: The brother you never had; who became the sister you never had; may actually be the lover you never had? "Curly," Jimmy said, "We don't have a choice. Things change. Everyone dies. We have to do the best we can to make the kind of life we want. And sometimes we just have to live with the life we get." Follow the trail to adventure and romance with Jimmy and Curly.
