Kerr dispels common misconceptions about both groups. I found the juxtaposition of homosexuality and farming quite interesting.

'I like it showing.' She laughed.Why that naughty girl. We'd never really been off alone together, and we just let go. Parr and Angel have just left a dance once they get in the car together.Īngel was all over me, or I was all over her, or we were all over each other. With this book, however, we have a two-for-one deal because not only would book banners get their grandma-style panties in a bunch over the homosexuality, but the 15 year old boy and his hymn-singing girlfriend get a bit frisky too: The book is full of little scenarios like this, lines and actions and thoughts that remind readers of the stupid little falsities and generalities revolving around homosexuality.

And some others of us go for the ones who don't, can't, and never will.Ĭord, who has a crush on Evie, succumbs to the 'lesbians just haven't met the right man' theory, and has this wonderful tidbit to offer: Evie's mother berates her for not dressing more feminine, espousing the theory that if Evie is going to be gay, she should at least try to hide it. Issues of homosexuality are directly addressed time and again throughout the story. No surprise here, the primary reason your typical book banner would get in a huff over this one is homosexuality. Evie's journey is at the heart of the story even as we - for obvious reasons - get more details about Parr's. Told from Parr's point of view, the story reveals all three of the Burrman kids' love lives: Doug and his slightly uppity girlfriend, Evie and her rebellious girlfriend, and Parr and his religious girlfriend. One, he doesn't want to be a farmer like his brother Doug and sister Evie. Parr's fifteen years old but he knows a few things.
