Descripción de contraportada
Nonfiction - Memoir $24 "As I lay in bed, looking out at the frigid snowscape, I felt a sense of balance. I was situated neatly between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I sensed that if I could remain here forever, in this precise time and place, with this view, with this warmth, with the knowledge that my sisters and parents were all sleeping nearby, I would never be unhappy." The eleventh year of life brings Jeremy Jackson his first love, the loss of his grandmother, and his sister's departure for college--seemingly ordinary events that erode his innocence in a way that will never be fully repaired. In tenderhearted, steadfast prose, he recalls the pastoral wonders of his rural childhood: thunderstorms roaring off the prairie, fresh milk in bottles, bicycle rides in September sunlight, and the horizon vanishing behind tall grasses. At once elegiac and startlingly direct, these fluid and powerful missives evoke the pain and beauty that mingle within even a happy childhood. With storytelling informed by a profound sense of place and an emotional memory startlingly vivid, readers young and old will be transported and transformed by this coming-of-age tale. Jeremy Jackson is the author of the novels Life at These Speeds and In Summer, as well as three cookbooks, including The Cornbread Book, which was nominated for a James Beard Award. He has also written novels for teenagers under the name Alex Bradley. He lives in Iowa.
