A Novel by Michael Grant Jaffe
Gordon Nash a part time lawyer whose wife abruptly walks away from both marriage and motherhood, leaving Gordon sole responsibility for raising their child, Calvin. Father and son settle in a small Kansas town, "the very solar plexus of a country", where Calvin dreams of owning a horse someday, and where he displays the quirks and curious habits of a precocious four-year old; toting around a dead man-o-war in a mason jar, filching disinfectant pucks from urinals, and sleeping on the closet floor. Though Gordon shows far more love and empathy than his own father, a college basketball coach, every exhibited toward him, he learns that parenting holds as many frustrations as joys, and involves as much unqualified love as uneasy ambivalence.
