GJSHS book reviews

This story is a about the town people of the little town of Holt.  There is Ike and Bobby, bothers who are dealing with their absence of their mother and taking on more responsibility around the house. Their father, Guthie, has to deal with his job as a teacher. He has trouble balancing his home and work relationships. There is also Victoria, the teenager not only dealing with a controlling boyfriend, living in various locations, but she is also pregnant. Then there are the McPherons bothers, two old, sweet men living their life the only way they know how: Through farming, who end up giving Victoria a place to stay. Together these characters face many hardships and together they get though them, better and wiser people for it. I recommend this book to men and women alike. I believe there is something that would capture the interest of all inside this book.
