Publisher's Summary: Stygo, Laura Hendrie's first novel, won the Rosenthal Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and was a finalist for the 1995 PEN/Hemingway Award for first fiction. It is set in fictional Bent County, Colorado, where the Red Rock Sugar Beet Company is the major industry and principal employer. The selections Laura Hendrie reads - 4 chapters, each a self contained story - are stories of hope in the face of difficulties. In "Armadillo" - set at the Sweetwater Truck Stop - 17-year-old Reba Stiles tells of her pet armadillo, Jubilee, and of life with her father. "Arroyo" takes place at the Jopa K Bar Ranch, where - following the death of Pa Jopa in a riding accident - Becca fights to reclaim her brother Brice. Tom Go - so called because of his unfulfilled dream to leave Stygo for Alaska - is the central figure in "Walking the Dog," and in "Something to Go By," Billy tries to come to terms with his twin brother Lee's death. |
