American Flag：The Story of…

Ferry, Joseph

内容简介

Winner of the 2012 Michael L. Printz and William C. Morris Awards, this poignant and hilarious story of loss and redemption ＆#8220;explores the process of grief, second chances, and even the meaning of life＆#8221; (Kirkus Reviews).In the remarkable, bizarre, and heart-wrenching summer before Cullen Witter＆#8217;s senior year of high school, he is forced to examine everything he thinks he understands about his small and painfully dull Arkansas town. His cousin overdoses; his town becomes absurdly obsessed with the alleged reappearance of an extinct woodpecker; and most troubling of all, his sensitive, gifted fifteen-year-old brother, Gabriel, suddenly and inexplicably disappears.＆nbsp;＆nbsp;＆nbsp;＆nbsp; Meanwhile, the crisis of faith spawned by a young missionary＆#8217;s disillusion in Africa prompts a frantic search for meaning that has far-reaching consequences. As distant as the two stories initially seem, they are woven together through masterful plotting and merge in a surprising and harrowing climax.＆nbsp;＆nbsp;＆nbsp;＆nbsp; This extraordinary tale from a rare literary voice finds wonder in the ordinary and illuminates the hope of second chances.
