<DIV><DIV><b>George Whitmore&rsquo;s acclaimed and affecting coming-of-age novel about a boy searching for his identity in the wake of a terrible accident</b></div><DIV><BR>When a car crash took one of his legs at age twelve, it also robbed Craig of his last hope for a steady childhood. Living in a Nebraska town with his abusive, alcoholic father and strong-willed mother, Craig is delighted when, in the middle of his recuperation, his uncle Wayne returns home, discharged from service in the navy. At times Wayne is like a surrogate father to Craig, helping him with his rehabilitation and igniting his imagination with tales of adventure sailing around the world. But with Wayne&rsquo;s nightly calls to a man known as &ldquo;the Chief,&rdquo; it becomes clear to Craig that his uncle is still very much a mystery.</div><DIV><BR>Beautifully written and utterly heartrending,&#160;<i>Nebraska&#160;</i>is a poignant story about a boy&rsquo;s maturation into manhood, and about the vividly drawn family members that surround him throughout his youth in the doldrums of rural life.</div><DIV></div></div>
