| 520 | |a Encounters with Unexpected Animals takes readers deep into the heart of bestselling author Bret Anthony Johnston's home state of Texas, where teenagers search for love, parents grasp at connections with their children, and animals--real or imagined, familiar or unexpected--are reminders of the mystery, danger, and beauty of being alive. In "Caiman," a father buys a baby alligator in hopes of keeping his family safe. In "Soldier of Fortune," a teenage boy dog-sits for his neighbors after tragedy strikes, and his innocent snooping uncovers the family's most guarded secret. And in the luminous "Half of What Atlee Rouse Knows About Horses," an elderly man's heart is laid bare with the raw and breathtaking power of wild horses. Johnston's humor, empathy, and mastery of prose ring out through each story, bringing every finely-drawn character to radiant life. Individually, the stories are by turns suspenseful, poignant and exhilarating. Taken together, they reveal the abiding connections that lead us from sorrow and impermanence back to ourselves and, ultimately, to each other. | ||
