Harley Atmyer, the heartbreaking and lovable hero of the author's debut novel, should be in college drinking beer and chasing girls. He should be freed from his stifling coal town with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he's marooned in the Pennsylvania backwoods caring for his thre beloved but unruly younger sisters. He has, at best, a shaky hold on the vicissitudes of day care, mac and cheese dinners, and visits to a once-devoted mother. Frustrated, overwhelmed, and utterly endearing, he's a guy in an impossible situation: an orphan with the responsibilities of an adult and the fiery, aggressive libido of a teenager, which is pointed at the sexy mother of two down the road. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
