Description

When her older sister runs away to marry a rodeo cowboy, twelve-year-old Alice Winston is left to bear to the brunt of her family's troubles - a depressed, bedridden mother; a reticent, overworked father; and a run-down horse ranch in Desert Valley, Colorado. To make ends meet, the Winstons board the horses of rich neighbors, and as their lives become intertwined with the lives of their clients, Alice is drawn into an adult world of secrets and hard truths. She soon discovers that people - including herself - can be cruel, can lie and cheat, and every once in a while, can do something heartbreaking and selfless.A wise and haunting novel about the different guises of love and the steep tolls on the road to adulthood, The God of Animals is impossible to forget.
