PROSE NOVEL! Monte Schulz, son of celebrated Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz, examines the surprising truths of three strong-willed women in the summer of 1929. Schulz delicately charts the tender rhythms of a small East Texas town as its inhabitants grapple with identity as related to gender, race and family. With respect, this generous novel tunes our emotions to the collective and poetic web of experience, shattering the varnish of everyday fiction into a constellation of real life.
