A comprehensive guide to raising rabbits for meat or show. The
author has touched all bases from genetics, nutrition, diseases,
and transporting to how to butcher, use the meat and tan the pelt.
Seventeen year-old Frankie Keilman doesn't see the world quite like
everyone else in his community. Gifted with uncanny artistic
ability, Frankie has heard stories of a boy who was once "sent off"
because he saw what no one else could see, because he was
"touched." Fearing that he is also touched, Frankie seeks to hide
his gifts and is successful in doing so until he encounters Ellie
McThacker, the determined daughter of a notorious bootlegger. A
forbidden relationship with Ellie places him in the midst of a
deadly game of extortion and deceit that could cost him everything.
"You can tell that Darlene Franklin-Campbell is a poet right from
the get-go. Her descriptions are so evocative they just sing off
the page. This bittersweet tale of a poor Kentucky family and their
loves and losses is told by Nochipa (Chippie) whose father is
Mexican and whose mother is white. Racial tensions from both within
the family and in the wider community run high. But somehow the
family survives and comes through it all despite the odds. I
Listened, Momma isn't the sort of novel where everything is all
tied up at the end with a pretty little bow. A cousin is suspected
of causing a death but escapes the justice he probably deserves.
Central characters pass away. This isn't a sugar-coated reality,
but authentic and honest; something of a modern day Little Women.
If the quality of the story-telling alone wasn't sufficient to
persuade you that this book is worth buying, all author proceeds
are being donated to Relay for Life in honor of her own father...."
