"Why is one sibling resilient, while the other breaks like the branch of an apple tree, unable 'to carry the burden of the fruit it bears'? . . . Played out in sweeping gestures, Harlan's response to the question is open-ended but richly textured." -Publishers Weekly
Jeb and his younger brother, Dave, are drifting apart.
When they were young it was easy to share secrets, pranks, and friendship; but during this drought-stricken summer new tensions are breaking into their old friendship. Jeb, a sports star and a good student, has learned to coexist with their domineering father. But Dave is still the prank-playing rebel, unable to compromise with what he sees as a hypocritical society and family. With the summer heating up, Dave plans his greatest prank yet-the perfect way to cool down the town. But will Jeb join him one last time?
Now Jeb faces the most difficult decision in his life-whether to join Dave's reckless stunt or to abandon his brother to his anger. Yet he knows that, whatever happens, both boys must share the consequences.
