Plainsong by Kent Haruf

Holt, Colorado
Tom - highschool teacher
Ike and Bobby - two little boys with a depressed mother
Victoria - pregnant teenager
The McPherson brothers - two much older brothers living alone on a farm
Maggie - teacher who gently forces each of the lives to intersect to everyones betterment
awkward interaction between Victoria and the McPherson brothers brings a smile
small town life
lives crossing each other
intensely rich visuals
a satisfying read
