The Charging Bull of Terry County — Carl Stevens

Bicentennial Day for America is going to be a long one for LarryTreegarden. There's a fifth of Southern Comfort to kill before noon. There's all the memory other people won't let the fifth kill off. The woman who's divorced him three times wants to talk. His older son wants to publish Granddad's Civil War Journal. Everyone wants to talk war history with a World War II vet. The mayor wants Larry's crane to lift the statue of a fictional hero into place in time for the fireworks. The only person not bothering him is his younger son shipped home from Viet Nam and resting for five years under a plain flat stone on the edge of town. This day will resonate with history â€" of one person, of one family, of one nation shaped by warâ€" and all Larry wants is a little peace. In commemoration of Gettysburg and celebration of the release of a third book, all novels by Carl Stevens will be on sale for reduced prices during the month of July. The Canterbury Tales in Neverland and The Time Traveler's Fool are also on Amazon.
