The Juniper Story

When Rick Kelley’s arm was broken by Neb Jame during an incident at school, Byron had no way to realize that his silence on the matter would make the approaching summer the time that would most define his life. In The Juniper Story, Pat Jameson paints a western town reliving the nuances of discrimination in its many forms, this time involving the James, a family with a strange set of superhuman abilities, but whose mysterious personalities set them prominently apart from the people of their town. When Rick’s father, Lloyd, pushes the matter beyond kids’ encounter, things quickly spiral out of hand, and neither Rick nor Byron are prepared for how the summer events unfold for them.
