Poignant and revealing stories from one of the Midwest's leading authors. "A compelling debut. These stories offer leisurely exposition and character development. . . . Their honesty and sensitivity will resonate." Publishers Weekly "These are wonderful stories-images of personal and societal growth that are at once hopeful and skeptical, loving and shrewd." New Orleans Times-Picayune "These magnificent stories are big-hearted and loving in a way I don't think I've ever encountered. With a calm and compassionate hand, Barton Sutter reveals to us the true dignity of humankind, the necessity of heroes and history, and the unerring aim of hope. My Father's War is a beautiful book." Bret Lott In this collection of stories, Barton Sutter shows us all the ways in which we are shaped by our surroundings. With an unswerving gaze, he portrays the rituals of growing up that we all experience, no matter how old we think we are.
