Summary
As her Wisconsin community endures a long season of drought and feels the shock waves of World War II, 15-year-old Cielle endures a more personal calamity: the unexpected death of her father. On a balmy summer afternoon, she finds him hanging in the barn - the start of a dark secret that threatens her family's livelihood. A war rages elsewhere, while in the deceptive calm of the American heartland, Cielle's family contends with a new reality and fights not to be undone.
A stunning debut, The Driest Season creates a moving portrait of Cielle's struggle to make sense of her father's time on earth and of her own. With wisdom and grit, Kenny has fashioned a deeply affecting story of a young woman discovering loss, heartache, and - finally - hope.
