Autumn Blue (2009)
“He knew there was a way to rid himself of the mole. In fact, the solution was tottering at the edge of his mind, so close to falling in that he held his breath. But then, uninvited, the image of that sad-faced kid would fill his brain again, scattering shadows of emerging ideas back into hiding.
Tyson had started to open up to him that day, but then had closed again like a threatened sea anemone. Millard had never known a kid so enthralled by nature, one who not only knew and understood the... wild things around him but had relationships with them. A student he was not. But he was smart. And the kid had passion; Millard had seen it in his eyes as he stared out at the four-point buck and the woodlands beyond.
It was the phone call from his probation officer that caused the boy to recede again into his dark, secret world. If it was the threat of being taken back to jail again, why didn’t the kid just get busy on his schoolwork? Millard had had no patience for students like that back when he taught at Silver Falls High.MoreLess

this is a wonderful book! Characters that come alive, the joy and struggles of life. If one can not relate to this book, one needs to take a look inside ones self.bruce2288
