It is a season of escapade as well as drama, during which fourteen-year-old Jick comes of age. Through his eyes we see those nearest and dearest to him at a turning point -- "where all four of our lives made their bend" -- and discover along with him his own connection to the land, to history, and to the deep-fathomed mysteries of one's kin and one's self.<P> 2878238 1984 English Creek total:337|5:132|4:136|3:55|2:12|1:2| 337 1395 442 51 4 0 false false Sun Aug 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 11:18:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 11:25:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 11:48:53 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 11:53:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Fri Mar 28 11:08:03 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 11:40:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Nov 16 20:44:14 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 20:58:25 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Aug 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 01:23:19 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 01:17:23 -0700 2009
