Cowkind

Synopsis

"Bob Scott's cows are worried. Farmer Bob is acting oddly, and his draft-age son, Gerry, is fearful too. It is the late 1960s. Gerry is struggling with his parents, his college-bound sister Renee, Vietnam, and all the pressures of his generation, pressures that will change the farm and the lives of every creature on it, especially the cows: Bossy, whose tender affection for Farmer Bob is unrequited; Smitty, the wise elder tormented by disrespectful younger cows; Calvin, the prodigal calf; Peanut, who dreams of running away to join the circus; White John, the bull whose role and identity are threatened by progress; And Aretha, the abused cow whose unearthly visions may redeem them all - even Farmer Bob."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
