"Jim Heynen knows the secret passage that lets him into the minds of young country boys...as they encounter the realities of a distinctive way of life--isolated, harshly beautiful--that is vanishing from the American scene."--Chicago Tribune
"In language that's both poignant and simple, these hundred tales present an intimate, frank, and beautifully detailed portrait of rural life." --Seattle Times "Sharply written...emotionally rich...[a] sublime gem."--Cleveland Plain DealerPlease read these stories aloud!
Most of my stories really come out of a rural story-telling tradition. The happiest readers I hear from are those who read them aloud--while traveling, before bed, in the classroom, etc.
