With the end of summer closing in and a steamy Labor Day weekend
looming in the town of Holton Mills, New Hampshire, lonely,
friendless thirteen-year-old Henry spends most of his time watching
television, reading, and daydreaming with only his emotionally
fragile, long-divorced mother for company. But everything changes
on the Thursday before the holiday weekend when a mysterious
bleeding man named Frank asks Henry for a hand. Over the next five
days, Henry will learn some of life's most valuable lessons, about
the breathless pain of jealousy, the power of betrayal, and the
importance of putting those we care about above ourselves--and that
real love is worth waiting for.
From acclaimed author Joyce Maynard comes a beautiful, poignant
tale of love, sex, adolescence, and devastating treachery as seen
through the eyes of a young teenager--and the man he later
becomes.
