Manhood, it is that imaginary line that every teenage boy must cross but when a teenage boy from a small town in South Dakota takes what he believes is the first step out of adolescence he has no idea how close to the line of adulthood he is stepping.
The summer of 1983 starts innocently enough for thirteen year old Tommy with the gift of a shotgun, and an invitation to join his father in the upcoming hunting season. However, the innocence of that moment quickly evaporates as the son learns that life isn’t as perfect as it may once have appeared to be and Tommy is about to come face to face with a decision that no teenager should ever have to make.
The Cold November Son takes the reader on a voyage that explores the boundaries of love and mercy. It is a love story unlike any you have read before. Will the son honor his father's wishes? What secrets will be revealed? Those questions will be answered as Tommy prepares to partake in one final and violent act of kindness.
