An ambitious and stunning trio of novellas, it is an unforgettable portrait of three decidedly unconventional American lives – in the first, a rural Montana girl, freed from an overprotective mother to explore the beauty of her surrondings, discovers both unexpected brutality and her own inner strength. Harrison’s beloved character Brown Dog returns with an outlandish plan to sneak his daughter over the U.S. – Canada border aboard a rock band tour bus, and ha a complex reunion with the lesbian social worker assigned to their case. And in the last tale a possible werewolf plagued by hazy, feverish episodes of epic lust, physical appetite, athletic exertions, and outbursts of violence under the full moon, attemps to settle down and retire.
