Peter Caviness, his sister and two brothers suddenly become orphans and face not only the end of summer, but the end of childhood. Now everything is different -- alien, dreamlike, frightening. What are those strange men doing to the beloved house their father built? The locks are changed. Why is the preacher so fascinated with Mary? She's only a child. And when is Uncle Herbert going to stop sleeping in their parents' bedroom? The answers to these questions, and more, are surprisingly revealed in this novel set in a small city in western Colorado against the historic events of the day -- a poignant story that propels the reader through a psychological journey of childhood as deftly textured as growing up itself. Gripping, funny, sad, and, at times, melancholy, "Sundays in August" will dazzle.
