Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
The Baxter family consists of Penny Baxter, his plump wife, Ora, and their son, Jody. They live in a simple cabin in the Florida scrub country, where patient, hardworking Penny ekes out a meager living by farming and hunting. Young Jody still sees life through the eyes of a child and finds a boy's pleasure in building a flutter mill (a water wheel) at the spring when he should have been hoeing the garden patch.
One spring morning, the family discovers that Betsy, their black brood sow, has been killed by a bear. Penny recognizes the tracks as those of Old Slewfoot, a giant black bear with one toe missing. Determined to be rid of this offender, he corners the animal in the scrub, but his old gun will not fire, and the bear escapes.
Unable to afford a new gun, Penny trades a worthless dog to his neighbors, the Forresters, for a new double-barreled shotgun of fine make. The Forrester family consists of the old parents, six gigantic, lawless boys, and Fodder-Wing, a deformed and disabled boy who is Jody's best friend. Penny is reluctant to dupe his neighbors, but his very living depends on the destruction of Old Slewfoot. He eases his conscience by telling the Forrester boys truthfully that the dog cannot be trained for hunting. His words convince the suspicious Forresters that the dog is even more valuable than they had thought, and they insist on the trade.
After his father's old gun is repaired, it becomes Jody's great...

Chapter Summaries
Chapter 1 Summary
The boy, Jody, leans on his hoe and watches his mother tidy their small cabin before he walks away. Soon two dogs, Rip and Perk, run toward him. Old Julia, the other family dog, followed Jody's father to town. The boy breaks into a run until he reaches his private place near a spring, shared only with the wild animals that come to drink.
He carefully carves a flutter-mill then lies on the creek-bank to watch it work before falling asleep. When he wakes, he revels in the beautiful April day before galloping home. He is ashamed to see his father, Penny Baxter, doing Jody's chore of chopping wood. Jody is thankful his father understands the call of nature on a young boy because it was once the same for him.
Jody delivers a load of firewood to his mother who is working in the kitchen before rejoining his father. Trixie the cow has been milked and old Caesar has been fed what meager food they have for him; now father and son go in to dinner. Jody is starving and it is a simple but glorious meal; all of them eat until they are full.
Baxter reminds Jody that they are going to hunt down a great old black bear named Old Slewfoot, and Jody teases playfully with his mother. The boy is "addled with April" and has trouble sleeping. For the rest of his life, on an April day like today, Jody will feel the throb of an old wound and be filled with nostalgia for something he cannot quite remember. Finally he sleeps.

Chapter 2 Summary
It is a full moon and Penny Baxter is still awake, thinking about what he should be doing instead of lying here in the dark. His own father would have punished him for leaving his chores undone, for he was a stern man. Though he taught his children how to read, write, and know the Scriptures, he also forced them to toil mercilessly. Food had been scarce and hookworm had been rampant. Baxter was a small man because of those things, but he is "sound amalgam," honest and upright and wanting only what is his.
People thought he was crazy for leaving the safety of a town and venturing off to the wilds to farm, but it may be that he had been "bruised too often" and needed the peace offered by nature and silence. The touch of man is hurtful, but nature heals; wild animals are less predatory than many of the people he has known. He can forgive wild animals who attack his stock, but he finds it difficult to understand human cruelties.
At thirty Baxter married a woman twice his size and built a life in the wilds with her. He had hoped for a large family, but the couple's children were all weak and none of them survived very long. After a string of these heartbreaks, Ora Baxter had no children for a time. Finally, late in their life, Jody was born.
Baxter went to war when Jody was two and was gone for four years; his wife and son stayed with Grandma Hutto while he was gone. While Ora loves Jody with some detachment, Baxter's "bowels yearn over his son." He understands the boy and is glad Jody got to build a flutter-mill today.

Chapter 3 Summary
Jody wakes unwillingly, but it is good to be awake before his mother calls him. Everything is coming to life outside his window, and he is torn between the "luxury of his bed and the coming day." Soon he is up and dressed; his bed is forgotten and he anticipates his mother's hot cakes for breakfast.
Jody washes and teases with his mother that he is ugly. She does not disagree, saying ugly runs in his family. He wishes he were dark like the Forresters, but his mother says their hearts are as dark as they are. Jody remembers Lem Forrester bullying him and then slips away to find his father.
Old Julia is trembling over a mutilated pig carcass, and Baxter tells his son to look closely to see what happened. Jody walks a few paces away and sees the unmistakable footprints of a huge bear with one missing toe: Old Slewfoot. Father and son study the direction in which the bear had come and gone.
None of the dogs had scented the bear because the wind was in his favor. Old Slewfoot is a cunning animal and formidable adversary. He only ate a bite or so of the pig, so his stomach must have been full. This was an unnecessary killing. Jody should feel bad but he only feels excitement about hunting down this personal enemy.
They drag the pig home to be used for lard and sausage, explaining what happened to an upset Ora. She is angry at the bear for killing her brood sow, worried there will be no meat for winter. Finally they sit down to breakfast.

Chapter 4 Summary
Today the Baxters will hunt Old Slewfoot. They gather supplies, including a hunk of dried alligator meat used to feed the dogs, and Jody has to wear his shoes. The trail leads south and the footprints are easy to find and follow; Baxter almost always catches his game. All three dogs are with them, but Old Julia is the best tracker; the hunters see signs that the bear is eating fire-plant along the trail.
Baxter has respect for the animals he kills, unlike the Forresters who kill for pleasure. Baxter loads his gun and they realize Slewfoot is running toward the creek. He does not have a clear shot because the dogs are leaping and retreating. Suddenly the bear stops and feigns indifference; Baxter shoots, but his gun does not fire. Now the bear battles two of the dogs and the hounds are valiant. Baxter fires again, but this time the gun backfires and Slewfoot nearly kills Julia.
Baxter bravely enters the fight and shoves the gun barrel into the bear's ribs. Slewfoot turns in pain and runs, two dogs clinging desperately to him before dropping off when the bear plunges into the thicket. Baxter retrieves the badly wounded Julia. It is time for Baxter to get a new gun.
They head home, and it breaks Jody's heart to see how wounded Julia is. Rip follows behind them, and they find Perk cowering in some bushes; he is obviously not a bear dog. At home, Baxter sews Julia's gashes and settles her into Jody's room where they will both watch her tonight. Jody likes everything about hunting bear except the actual confrontation. His father explains that all animals must kill or go hungry, just like the Baxters. Jody sleeps as his father tends to Julia.

Chapter 5 Summary
Julia is better but exhausted from losing so much blood. At breakfast, Baxter determines to trade Perk for a new gun. The dog is of no use to the Baxters, but he is a good "ketch-dog" and the Forresters love to acquire dogs. Ora warns him he is likely to do poorly in the trade, but Baxter and Jody are going to go. They split wood and fetch water before they leave. Jody is anxious to visit his friend Fodder-wing.
Father and son ride the horse, Caesar, together, and Perk follows them to Forresters' Island. The trail they are riding was blazed by the Spaniards and cuts across Florida. The Spaniards had to fight Indians, panthers, and bears; suddenly the woods look more perilous to Jody. When they get closer to the Forresters', Baxter picks up Perk and carries him but will not explain why when Jody asks.
Fodder-wing was born to his parents later in life and is not to blame for "hatchin' out peculiar." He is not quite right, but he is Jody's best friend except for Oliver. Suddenly the quiet is shattered by a fight in the cabin. Things are being thrown and voices are raised; however, when Baxter announces himself, he and Jody are greeted warmly. Mill-wheel hugs Jody and Fodder-wing, his body humped and twisted, comes running. (He got his name because he tried to fly by attaching bundles of fodder to his arms.)
Jody goes to see Fodder-wing's baby raccoon; it is in a crate behind the cabin along with an entire assortment of penned-up wild animals. Jody cuddles the delightful creature to him and asks what caused the fight he heard earlier. One of the dogs wet in the middle of the floor and no one could agree whose dog did it.
(The entire section is 301 words.)
Chapter 6 Summary
The baby raccoon drinks as Jody holds it. When the contented creature's belly is full, he scrambles to be free and Jody puts him on his shoulder. Pa Forrester is sitting quietly in the shadows and now says that he used to have a pet raccoon; it was "gentle as a kitten" for two years and then one day it bit a chunk out of his leg.
The remaining Forresters and Baxter enter the cabin as the patriarch continues talking about raccoons. Baxter is still holding Perk in his arms and now crosses the room to talk to Forrester. Ma Forrester asks Baxter to sit, which he does, and one of the boys asks if Baxter's dog is lame. Baxter replies that he just wants to protect the dog from their bloodhounds. Far from being valuable, Baxter explains the dog is the "sorriest bear-dog" he has ever known.
Baxter tricks the Forresters into believing that Perk is a valuable hunting dog, though he is actually telling them the truth when he complains that his dog and his gun are both no good. Both failed him yesterday when he was hunting Old Slewfoot. Before he lets Baxter tell about the bear, Forrester passes the jug of moonshine around the room. (Jody is too young to partake.) Ma Forrester serves a gigantic meal but says she would have done better if she had known they would have company. Jody and Baxter are unaccustomed to such plenty.
Ma Forrester asks her husband to pray, which he uncomfortably does, and then they eat. Forrester quietly tells Baxter that his boys are sinful and ornery in every way, but not one of them has ever sworn at their parents while at the dinner table.
(The entire section is 291 words.)
Chapter 7-8 Summary
Jody arrives home to the smell of roasting meat. He is disappointed that his father went hunting without him and says he will never leave his father again if this is what happens. Baxter tells his son to be patient and listen to the story; after all, he got to spend the night at the Forresters and cannot have everything. Jody certainly wishes he could.
On his way home yesterday, Baxter saw a big buck standing in the road; the animal did not move, even when he heard Caesar approaching. Baxter checked his new gun for bullets, and of course it was loaded. He shot the buck and threw it on the horse, hopeful this would be an effective peace offering to his wife for leaving Jody at the Forresters'.
Jody teases with his mother and praises her cooking before going back outside to ask about Old Julia. She will be fine and ready to hunt for Old Slewfoot again soon. Jody confesses that he was too scared even to run when they fought the bear the last time, and Baxter admits he was frightened, as well—especially when he discovered his gun did not work.
Baxter has done Jody's hoeing, but the boy needs to chop some wood; the task helps him keep his mind off his raging hunger. When it is time to eat, Jody makes a remark his mother does not approve of, and he tells her he heard it at the Forresters. This proves her point that they are "lower'n a doodle-bug. And black-hearted to boot." Jody tells her they sang and played all night; she says that is fine if they have nothing better to do.

Chapter 9 Summary
It rained last night, and today is another beautiful April morning. Jody has eaten so well for the past few days that he is hardly hungry. As he is leisurely chopping wood, his father comes from the barn, dangling a strange white object. It is a raccoon, but Baxter explains it is an anomaly called an albino. It was killed in the barn trap, which makes Jody sad. He wishes he could have kept him for a pet. His mother does not think that raccoons should be pets.
Baxter and Jody convince Ora that the white hide would not sell for much so Jody can keep it. Baxter wishes he had enough money to build a well, and Jody wonders why his father chose to build his homestead so far from any fresh water. His father does not complain about wearing the heavy yoke on his shoulders to carry the water, and his mother does not complain about having had to use water sparingly for the past twenty years.
Jody takes his hoe to the sink-hole. It is a hole is sixty feet deep, very wide, and older than Baxter. Jody follows the worn trail to the bottom where a clear pool of water sits. He has a sense of being alone here, but he does not feel lonely. He takes his hoe to the limestone trough, clearing out the leaves and debris. His father joins him, and Jody asks why he chose this land. Baxter says he simply "craved peace," and he has gotten it, with the exception of a few wild animals and, occasionally, his wife.
Jody wishes again for a pet to cherish and asks his father if animals can be tamed when they are young. Baxter says everything can be tamed—except for the human tongue.

Chapter 10 Summary
Jody is recovering from being slightly ill. His mother is certain it is a fever and chills, but he suspects he just ate too many unripe berries. She makes him drink something she has created, and it is not as bad as some of her concoctions. Jody feels a bit guilty that his father has had to do all the chores for the past two days, but he did not want to take the purging medicine which his mother certainly would have given him. Once he is up, Jody eats and goes to see his father; Baxter figured his son's illness was because of too many green berries. They decide to go fishing.
Along the way they see six Minorcans with bags over their shoulders; they are hunting gophers, the "last food the inhabitants of the scrub considered edible." Baxter tells Jody they are poor but peaceful people. They find a promising pond and soon Jody is struggling to land a huge fish. At times during the struggle the boy wants to quit, but he finally lands the ten-pound bass.
Baxter is proud of Jody and wants to catch an even bigger fish. After a while, Jody hears his father's special whistle and they crawl to a spot where his father has spied whooping cranes. Jody counts sixteen of them. It is an amazing sight: the birds doing an awkward, magical dance before finally flexing their wings and flying away in a line and then vanishing.
It is dusk and the Baxters walk home in a silence punctuated by the sounds of nature. They ate their fish dinner in an almost trance-like silence, still stunned by the unearthly beauty they had seen.

Chapter 11 Summary
Jody sees the hoof prints of twin fawns and is ecstatic; he wants to leave one for its mother and take the other for himself. Ora says there is no milk to spare. Jody, Baxter, and Old Julia set off to hunt, go to the store to trade, and stop to visit Grandma Hutto. Jody is honored to carry his father's faulty rifle.
Baxter teaches Jody how to tell a doe from a buck and whether they are running or walking just by their tracks. They see twin bear cubs and two bucks, and Jody is able to see a newborn fawn with its mother. After lunch, Jody grazes a buck. Baxter finishes the kill and dresses the animal. They will give the hide and a haunch to Grandma Hutto, keeping a haunch for themselves. The rest they sell. In the store, Jody throws a potato at the owner's daughter because he hates her, and Baxter is disappointed in him.
Jody feels more at home at Grandma Hutto's than at his own home. After delivering his gifts, Jody goes swimming, watches his grandmother cook, and sits down to dinner. Visiting Grandma Hutto always fills Jody with "snugness" and Jody can barely hold everything he eats at her table. Baxter tells Jody not to be hard on Ora when he compares the two women in his thoughts, as she has never had much with which to work.
Easy Ozell comes to do Grandma Hutto's chores; he loves her but she will not consider his suit because Ozell is a Yankee. Jody shares what Lem said about Twink Weatherby. Grandma Hutto assures him Oliver will take care of the matter when he comes home from sea. Jody wishes Grandma Hutto were his real grandmother and Oliver his real kin.

Chapter 12 Summary
Jody is sleeping at Grandma Hutto's when he hears the steamship whistle and realizes someone is coming to the landing. It is Oliver and everyone is thrilled, since he only comes home twice a year. His ship has been in the tropics; he has stories and gifts to share but wants to eat first.
Jody's gift is a marvelous hunting knife. When he blurts out that Lem Forrester thinks Twink Weatherby is his girl, Oliver laughs and reminds Jody that the Forresters are liars. Jody is relieved and his conscience is clear, but he remembers Lem's face and is worried. Oliver has more stories to tell, but he goes to visit his girl and the Baxters have to finish their trading and go home.
Suddenly Easy Ozell appears and tells them to grab weapons because Oliver is being killed by the Forresters in front of the store. Jody does not want to fight for Oliver; Jody is upset that Oliver left him to visit a girl and is afraid he will never get to see Fodder-wing again if he makes an enemy of the Forresters.
What Ozell said is correct: three gigantic Forrester boys are nearly killing Oliver. He looks like a wounded animal after a dog attack, and Jody relents, knowing this is not fair and his beloved Oliver is likely to be killed. Jody jumps onto Lem's back. Baxter says that if it takes three men to kill one man, the one is a better man than the three. For a moment the fighting stops, but Lem and Oliver are soon battling again.
Lem knocks Oliver out, Baxter hits Lem, Lem hits Baxter, and Jody rushes in to bite Lem—who knocks Jody unconscious.

Chapter 13 Summary
Jody wakes up in Grandma Hutto's spare bedroom and is sure the fight between Oliver and the Forresters was a nightmare—until he turns and feels the pain in his neck and shoulder. Baxter is bandaged up and has a black eye, and Oliver is in bed with a plethora of wounds but will recover. Baxter tells his son that it was not fair to involve a boy in a man's fight, but he is proud of him for wanting to help a friend in trouble.
Jody finally says the Forresters are also his friends, but Baxter says that is probably no longer true. Jody is even more resentful that Oliver left them for a girl, but he would fight again if needed. The odds were not fair and he could not abide such an injustice; thinking of it this way eases the pain of losing his friendship with Fodder-wing.
Though Jody has not fully recovered, the Baxters have to leave. Jody tells the bruised and battered Oliver goodbye, apologizing that he and his father did not arrive sooner to help. When Oliver asks Jody to give a message to Twink Weatherby, Jody does not want to do it but knows that is what a friend would do.
The Baxters stop at the store to do their errands, and Jody secretly asks where to find the girl. Twink Weatherby has left on a ship, so Jody laboriously writes a note to Oliver explaining that his girl has gone up the river. Jody realizes that Oliver has never failed him before, that the Forresters are as bad as his mother claims they are, that Fodder-wing will not hold this fight against their friendship, and that his father is as "unchangeable as the earth."
(The entire section is 294 words.)
Chapter 14 Summary
Baxter is worried because his hogs have not come back home. If a bear had attacked, they would not all be gone; he suspects the Forresters have somehow trapped the animals. Baxter will leave soon to find the animals and is prepared to fight the Forresters if he must; Jody would rather lose the pigs and keep the Forresters as friends. His mother did not approve of their fight to save Oliver, but she is eager for them to fight, if necessary, for the pigs.
They leave before noon, and Baxter quickly finds evidence that the Forresters lured the hogs away by giving them corn. They discover an empty pig trap and work their way through the dense woods. Suddenly Baxter is bitten by a rattlesnake. Jody holds the dogs back as his father shoots the snake. His right arm is already swollen and black.
Baxter kills a doe and uses the liver to help draw out the poison in his arm before sending Jody to the Forresters to have them fetch the doctor. A fawn is left motherless. Two Forrester boys offer to help Jody; one rides for the doctor and one rides to take Baxter home. Frightened, Jody runs back home through an awful storm and is spent when he arrives. The doctor is there and Baxter is alive, though his arm is still hugely swollen.
Ora fears her husband might die, but she keeps functioning. Baxter is sweating out the poison as the doctor keeps watch. The two Forresters lie down by the fire and will wait to see how things turn out, and Jody keeps vigil at his father's bedside. He cries bitterly, thinking of the fawn and of death.
(The entire section is 285 words.)
Chapter 15 Summary
Jody wakes from a nightmare in which he and his father are battling a nest of rattlesnakes. He is thrilled that his father looks no worse than he did last night. Jody starts to do his father's chores, and Buck Forrester graciously offers to stay and work the farm until Baxter is well enough to work.
Jody convinces his father that he must find and raise the fawn; it is the least he can do since the does saved his father's life. Mill-wheel helps Jody search for the fawn before he returns to his family. They agree that no one else should have gotten involved in the fight between Oliver and Lem. Mill-wheel assures Jody that the Baxter hogs will be home by sundown. Jody is concerned that Fodder-wing is sick. Mill-wheel says his brother is not like the rest of the Forresters: "Seems like he drinks air 'stead 'o water, and feeds on what the wild creeturs feed on, 'stead 'o bacon." Mill-wheel promises to send word to Jody when Fodder-wing is well again.
Jody wants to meet the fawn alone, in a lovely and secret meeting. He finds the doe's carcass and is then able to find the fawn, a male. Jody approaches the animal carefully and sweetly; it weighs no more than Old Julia but has long, gangly legs. Jody is enchanted by the helpless creature and carries it home.
Ora is not convinced the fawn should stay, but Baxter makes it clear that the fawn belongs to Jody just as Old Julia belongs to him. The fawn will always be welcome here. Jody feeds him and makes him a bed in the barn. Baxter is recovering, Buck is working hard to improve the farm, and Jody is sure he will never be lonely again.
(The entire section is 301 words.)
Chapter 16 Summary
The fawn follows Jody everywhere. Buck is a hard worker but he "fills the Baxter cabin until it bulges." Though he eats an astonishing amount of food, Ora does not complain because he works very hard and keeps her supplied with game. Baxter's strength is returning slowly.
Buck shows Jody evidence that foxes have been eating the corn and promises to teach Jody to be more serious about caring for the farm and the crops. Buck and Jody smoke the bees out of a honey-tree and gather several tubs of honey; however, Buck feels as if he should go home. He has a bad feeling in his heart about Fodder-wing. That night, Jody and Buck prepare to hunt the fox and Baxter wishes he could go, too. He and Buck tease good-naturedly about the dog Baxter traded Lem for the gun. Lem was not amused.
Now they hear the dogs barking and Buck borrows Baxter's new gun. They take two shots and kill two adult foxes. As they near the cabin, they hear both Baxter's screaming and discover a bear just leaving the yard chased by the dogs. At the fence, the bear turns to slash at the dogs. Buck shoots and the bear falls.
Baxter guesses the bear was attracted by the fawn (which is unharmed) and the honey. After Jody checks on the fawn, he helps the men dress the two-year-old male bear. Buck will take some bear grease for his mother and a piece of the liver to strengthen Fodder-wing. Buck wants to tell hunting stories, but Jody feigns sleep so he can sneak out to the barn and bring the growing fawn into his room to sleep. He will use the bear as an excuse if he must.
(The entire section is 294 words.)
Chapter 17 Summary
Two weeks after Buck left, Jody is hoeing; if he finishes by noon he can visit Fodder-wing, who has a gift for names, to get a name for the fawn. Jody has tried many names, but none of them seem to fit.
Baxter is still not strong, but Jody has been trying to do more to help. The fawn is growing and getting in the way at times but makes the Baxter men laugh. Before Jody leaves for the Forresters, his parents warn him to be especially alert for bears because it is mating season.
Jody is delighted that the fawn is following him so faithfully when suddenly he sees two male bears fighting on their hind legs a hundred yards away. It is a rare sight, and Jody only resumes his journey after the bears move on; he is eager to tell Fodder-wing what he saw. The Forresters place is atypically quiet, and when a disheveled Buck answers the door, he announces that Fodder-wing is dead. Jody is confused when Buck invites him in to see Fodder-wing, but then Jody sees the small figure lying in the middle of a big bed.
Now Jody understands death. Jody and the Forresters eat a dismal meal. Ma Forrester tells Jody that Fodder-wing was thrilled Jody had a fawn and said he would have named it "Flag." Baxter arrives, guessing Fodder-wing might have died. Jody and the fawn keep vigil. The next morning, Baxter speaks at the funeral and Buck sends Fodder-wing's lame red bird, Preacher, home with Jody.
Ora scolds the men for worrying her, but her husband reminds her not to be quite so hard on those who are grieving.
(The entire section is 281 words.)
Chapter 18 Summary
The August heat is merciless. The harvest will be plentiful and everything is going well on the Baxters' farm, though Jody is always conscious of Fodder-wing's absence. Flag is continually growing and has become quite clever.
One afternoon near the end of August, Jody and Flag go to the sinkhole to get water. Among the dripping moss, he imagines he sees a helmeted rider, a Spaniard, something he and Fodder-wing talked about often. Jody realizes he will never be able to talk to his friend about such things again.
Jody forgets his errand and lies with Flag in the shade of a dogwood tree. Soon a mother raccoon and her two young ones come down the slope of the sinkhole. The mother fishes in each of the troughs and in the pool. She finally catches a frog and gives it to her children before going back to the pool. When the young ones follow her into the water, she lifts them one by one and drags them to land where she spanks them. It is such a human act that Jody barely stifles an exclamation.
After they go, Jody feels as if Fodder-wing has left with the raccoons, but something of the ethereal boy will always be found among the creatures of the wild. Jody now knows he can cope with his friend's death. At dinner that night he tells his parents about the raccoons and tries to explain his feelings about Fodder-wing to his father who listens intently. Jody has trouble expressing himself, however, and is not sure his father understands.

Chapter 19 Summary
September is dry and hot. Baxter kills a seven-foot rattler and hangs the hide next to the fireplace with great satisfaction. The deer and bears are feeding in low, wet places and are hard to hunt. Ora wants rain because her rain barrels are empty. Baxter senses the weather is going to turn bad.
That night a fierce wind comes but is gone by morning. No air is stirring and the skies turn black; then comes a "toad-strangler of a rain." Jody, Flag, and the two dogs manage to get inside before the worst of it comes, and the household settles in for the night. In the morning, Baxter dresses for winter since he must go out and milk the cow. The storm continues all day and the Baxters go to bed early. The next day is the same, though the wind and rain have shifted directions. The rain is incessant and the yard is afloat. Two hens have drowned and the family drinks rainwater. So much is ruined and everything seems unfriendly now.
On the fifth day, Baxter and Jody venture out to gather a few supplies. The cow-peas will all rot if they are not picked, so the two Baxter men go out and try to save them. The seventh day is no different than the first. The corn stalks are beaten down but the ears are unharmed. Ora struggles to save all the food by drying it. The sweet potatoes are beginning to rot. Baxter says if the rain does not stop tomorrow, all will be lost.
On the morning of the eighth day, silence reigns. The air is cool and sweet, but the Baxters' farm is devastated. Ora cries, but her husband reminds her this is all they have.
(The entire section is 293 words.)
Chapter 20 Summary
Two days after the storm, Buck and Mill-wheel come to check on the Baxters. The storm has disrupted all the habits and patterns of the wild animals, so the two Forresters and the two Baxter men go to explore. They see dead animals of all kinds, and the water is still high in most places.
The men check on the doctor; he left a note on the door, saying he was heading to the ocean "where this much water is ain't so peculiar." The men enjoy a moment of laughter. They discover islands of land amid the swampy ground, islands which are full of all sorts of animals. The men shoot six wild cats because these are the predators of their farm animals. Jody shoots a lynx, and they also shoot several deer for meat.
After they settle for the night, they are threatened by a fierce but starving panther and her two cubs. Buck kills them and the dogs eat the meat, but the dead cubs make Jody sad. In the middle of the night, Baxter and Jody chase an alligator back to the water.
The horses do not have much to graze on, for the grasses are all beaten flat; the water nearly everywhere around them is putrid, so they do not have much to drink. When Jody asks whether the animals will be able to survive on the rotten water, none of the men are certain because these conditions are unprecedented in their experience. Soon they discover a newly created marsh full of bears fishing for mullet from the ocean which are leaping everywhere.
Buck, Mill-wheel, and Jody each shoot a bear. They all head back home, and Jody is proud to be the provider of meat for his family.

Chapter 21 Summary
Baxter spends two weeks trying to salvage his crops. Only some of the sweet potatoes survive, and the sugar cane is "flattened to the ground" but might be salvaged later. Three weeks after the flood, Baxter cuts some marsh grass to cure, since his hay was ruined. Now that the water has receded, no fish are evident and the stench is overwhelming.
In October, a month after the flood, Baxter, Jody, and Flag go to cut and gather the marsh grass when suddenly Old Julia tears into the bushes and finds a curiosity: a wildcat, not yet old, is dying. They take one load of hay home, and the dogs begin to bay at the sink-hole. The hounds corner a buck, but, inexplicably, it refuses to fight. Baxter kills the buck and discovers the animals are dying of the black-tongue plague. Baxter does not know what causes it, and Jody is suddenly afraid for Flag. They will all take greater care of where they get their water, and Jody will feed Flag only what he eats. If Flag dies, Jody determines they will die together.
Baxter has no answers for all of Jody's questions, and Jody is uncomfortable and even alarmed by the new order of things in nature since the flood. Baxter rides to the Forresters for information; they also know about the plague. When Jody asks his father if everything will die, Baxter tells Jody he will have to wait to find out, just like his father.

Chapter 22 Summary
By November, the Baxters and Forresters know the extent of the plague and understand game will be scarce for the winter. They are more concerned than ever about their farm animals and do what they can to protect them. One night a pig squeals and they discover a large bear took it. When Baxter and Jody find the tracks, they know it was Old Slewfoot. They are not surprised that this bear has survived the plague. The old bear will not be fooled by his trap since he lost his toe to one, so they will have to track him down. The next day Baxter is sick and stays in bed for three days, and he will not let Jody track the bear alone.
After he recovers, Baxter and Jody slaughter eight of their hogs, leaving just a few "to begin the cycle all over again." This winter there will be meat, and the sugar cane and corn have survived. Jody does his thinking while he grinds his corn. There will be no tutor for Jody this winter, but Jody does not mind, as "he knows a heap now." Jody will have to settle for his father as his teacher.
Flag is growing and is never out of the hearing of Jody's call. He "gets himself in serious disgrace" by ruining or eating many of the dried sweet potatoes; both of Jody's parents are distraught about the loss. Jody must keep better track of Flag from now on, and he builds Flag a pen in the corner of the yard. Neither fawn nor boy is happy with the arrangement, and Baxter relents. Jody must build something to protect the sweet potatoes instead. It is essential that Jody learn to protect food, for it is the most important thing.

Chapter 23 Summary
The first heavy frost happens at the end of November. The Baxters spend their evening in front of the fire; Flag is with them, and Ora does not even seem to care. Starvation seems unlikely to visit them now.
Suddenly the terrified calf bleats and Baxter goes for his gun. A pack of starving wolves has attacked the calf. Baxter shoots and the wolves disperse, all but the one Julia has killed. The incident has Baxter shaken, and he plans to go to the Forresters because a pack of starving wolves is more than either of them can fight alone. He leaves the next morning, leaving Jody to protect the farm. Flag stays inside all day, and Baxter returns in time for dinner.
There is only one pack of marauding wolves left. The Forresters want to poison them, but Baxter wants to hunt or trap them. Ora says he is too soft-hearted, but Baxter does not want innocent creatures to be poisoned. For once, Jody thinks his father is wrong; he thinks the wolves will attack Flag. Both Ora and the Forresters call Baxter a coward, but Jody knows his father is a better man than the Forresters.
The Forresters come and set out the poison, telling Baxter exactly where it is so he can keep his dogs away from it. He will keep his dogs tied up for a week. That night, Jody hears his father load his gun, just in case, and then tell Ora that Twink Weatherby has joined Oliver in Boston. Lem is furious, threatening to kill both of them. Jody is angry because he has lost Oliver to a girl; Ora suggests that the girl must be "one o' them leetle ol' chipperdales" or Oliver would have married her by now.
(The entire section is 296 words.)
Chapter 24 Summary
The poisoning killed thirty wolves in one week; only a dozen or two remain, and Baxter will help kill them. The pack is marauding in different places each night; the Forresters kill six of them and then set out more poison. When two of their dogs die of poisoning, however, their desire to kill so quickly diminishes.
The Forresters, Baxter, and Jody go hunting. At a watering hole they see a buck and a dozen spring bears. Finally the wolves appear and the men kill a dozen of them. Nearly all the bears have treed, and Baxter suggests they try to catch some, as there is a market for live animals.
Three of the young bears sit "crying like babies." Others only climbed saplings and are easily caught. They catch ten bears and kill several which are too mean to be caged. Two Forresters will keep watch over the restrained bears while the rest go for a wagon. The Baxters leave the trading to the Forresters.
On the way home, the Baxters shoot and dress an eight-foot alligator; they will smoke the tail-meat for the dogs. As they continue home, Old Julia scents a buck; however, the deer mating season is late because of the rain and this buck is "courting and ready for a fight." Men and dogs are accustomed to animals fleeing during a hunt, but Baxter shoots the large, well fed buck.
Ora is thrilled with their hunt. Jody collapses into bed early, while his parents make their trade list. The Forresters stop for the list on their way to Jacksonville; the wagon full of bears is bedlam. Lem is belligerent and Buck reminds Baxter that Lem is still sore about losing his girl. Jody decides he hates Lem but can continue liking the others. He finds both sentiments satisfying.
(The entire section is 303 words.)
Chapter 25 Summary
The Forresters got a good price for the bears and were able to get everything on the Baxters' list with money left over. The relations between the two families are strained because of Lem's attack on Baxter's veracity; despite that, Buck stops by to tell the Baxters they think they have killed the last of the wolves but the bears are marauding.
Jody spends a lot of time hunting with Flag. Jody makes his mother a necklace out of beans for Christmas. Before the Baxters leave for Volusia, Jody and Baxter go hunting so they have something to trade. Old Julia refuses to follow the obvious trail of a well grown fawn, but when she uncharacteristically refuses, Baxter thrashes her for her stubbornness. The fawn was Flag; Julia is wiser than her masters because she immediately recognized Flag as family. Baxter is humbled. They finally get several deer and leave the next morning. Jody is not happy about leaving Flag tied up, but he wants to go and see Grandma Hutto.
Ora does her trading, and the shopkeeper wants to hear about life in the scrub after the floods. Baxter confirms all the rumors the man has heard. The Baxters get a good price for the goods they brought to trade. Ora sends Jody outside so she can buy him something special for Christmas. Baxter buys dress goods as a surprise for Ora before they go to Grandma Hutto's.
The two women do not get along, and the normally cozy home is chilled today. The Baxters decide to come back and spend Christmas and Christmas night. Jody is thrilled until he remembers Flag, but Grandma Hutto will be glad to have the fawn. Jody learns that she was as exasperated with Oliver as he is and considers forgiving Oliver—but never Twink Weatherby.
(The entire section is 306 words.)
Chapter 26 Summary
Trixie's calf is going to live and the Baxters are elated. Ora makes a dress out of the goods Baxter bought her, and Buck reports the Forresters lost a two hundred-plus pound hog to Old Slewfoot. The Christmas festivities are in three days, but the Forresters will not be going. Jody makes his father a pipe and Baxter does some mysterious building late at night. No one hears the bear that night, but in the morning the calf is gone.
Baxter is furious and intends to finally kill Old Slewfoot. Jody and Flag struggle to keep up with him. After an exhausting day, the Baxters see no sign of the bear, but they set out again the next morning. If they are not back, Ora will drive the wagon to town and they will do their best to join her. Baxter is unwilling to let a warm trail get cold. They find Old Slewfoot in a swamp and it is difficult to follow the crafty creature. Baxter manages to nick him, but the bear then gives them the slip. Jody is exhausted but has never seen his father "so cold and implacable."
They spend the night in the widow Nellie Ginright's empty house; she is shocked to find them when she arrives in the morning but helps the Baxters continue the chase, as the bear has killed a lot of her stock in the past year. Baxter and his two dogs finally kill Old Slewfoot on Christmas Eve day. Carrying the heavy carcass is difficult and they realize they need help. A boisterous, drunk group of Forresters appear and help the Baxters take the carcass bask to Baxter's Island.
They go to the church and Buck drapes himself in the bear hide, scaring everyone in the service; Baxter makes sure Buck does not get accidentally shot. The men join the holiday celebration; in the midst of it, they receive word that Oliver and Twink Weatherby have arrived. Lem and the other Forresters hear first and go immediately to the Huttos' house and set it on fire. Jody searches for Oliver and finds him and the girl; he tells them the Forresters burned down his mother's house.
When they arrive at the conflagration, Oliver insists he is going to go kill the Forresters; however, Grandma Hutto insists she carelessly left something on the stove. Jody and Ora are incredulous, but Baxter supports her story because Oliver would have killed every one of the Forresters. He introduces Twink Weatherby as his wife. Grandma Hutto privately threatens Jody never to tell the truth; she insists that she does not want to rebuild...
(The entire section is 477 words.)
Chapter 27 Summary
The next morning, the Baxters tell Grandma Hutto, Oliver, and his wife goodbye, as the Huttos are leaving immediately for Boston. Ora and Grandma Hutto even embrace. Baxter tells them they are always welcome at Baxter Island. The steamboat is just coming around the bend in the river when Oliver's new wife presents Jody with a gift for fighting on Oliver's behalf. Twink gives him a kiss on the cheek and Jody thinks it is quite agreeable.
As Grandma Hutto begins to board, Baxter tried to express his love for her, but his voice breaks and then the Huttos have to board the ship. As the two groups wave and holler goodbye to one another, the boat makes one final whistle before disappearing down the river.
The Baxters head home with heavy hearts. Jody opens his package, a small pewter canister for his gunpowder. He wonders if Easy Ozell will follow Grandma Hutto to Boston. Ora would have turned the Forresters in to the authorities for their heinous act of arson, but Baxter reminds her they have no proof of their guilt. Jody is thrilled to be home and cannot wait to go tell Flag all about the adventures he has had over the past few days.
(The entire section is 209 words.)
Chapter 28 Summary
It is a mild January, sometimes warm enough for Ora to sit on the porch and do her needlework in the sun. The Baxters are leading a quieter life now and still talk about how low the Forresters are for being willing to burn down a house assuming Oliver was in it. They do not pass by the Baxters' anymore and have not come for their half of the bear meat in compensation for all the damage Old Slewfoot had done to their animals.
It is still warm at the end of January, a harbinger of spring. Baxter plows the fields where he will plant the early crops, fields which Buck cleared for him when Baxter was sick. He will plant extra corn this year, for there never seems to be enough of it for the needs of the farm and its inhabitants. It is the most important crop. The hunting is poor, as the bears are preparing to hibernate and the deer are scarce. One of the only things more plentiful since the flooding is wood.
Old Slewfoot's meat is "tough eating," and the Baxters are thankful to eat the last of it. One night Jody and Flag are up late alone and they hear a scuffling in the yard. Jody is stunned to see a lame grey wolf. He starts to call his father but is mesmerized by the wounded animal playing familiarly with Rip. Baxter appears behind Jody and now both of them watch the fascinating sight. Eventually the wolf senses their presence and walks alone into the trees. Jody hugs Flag, knowing the orphaned animal could have been a lonely creature like that wolf.
(The entire section is 279 words.)
Chapter 29 Summary
Baxter becomes temporarily crippled due to his rheumatism because of the cold in February. Jody does the light chores and keeps the house supplied with wood, but mostly he and Flag go hunting and playing. One day he sees Flag in silhouette at the top of a rise; seeing the creature from a new perspective, Jody suddenly realizes how big Flag has gotten. Baxter looks at the young buck speculatively, seeing the same thing, and confirms that Flag is almost a yearling. He tells Jody things will begin to change for Flag, though his horns will not begin to show until July.
Flag is in "increasing in disgrace, at best," because of his antics; and Ora is not pleased with Flag's "wild and impudent" behaviors. Flag is growing more restless at night and finally Ora forbids him to come into the house and, after a bit of consideration, Baxter agrees with her. The next morning Baxter discovers that Flag has trampled nearly all of the tobacco plants. Jody defends his animal friend, of course, and Baxter relents and agrees not to tell Ora. Jody begins thinking of ways to keep Flag out of mischief, though he assumes Flag will not do such a destructive thing again.
(The entire section is 207 words.)
Chapter 30 Summary
March arrives, sunny and cool, and Baxter feels better. He decides this is the day he will begin planting, and he teaches Jody exactly how to do it. The boy learns well and Baxter leaves him to finish planting the tobacco. Baxter is pleased and they work quickly together to plant the corn because Baxter senses rain is coming. He has a vague unease, "as though he were obliged now to leave his handiwork to forces he could only trust blindly not to betray him."
Both of the Baxters rest for a moment and watch Flag. Jody is proud of his beautiful friend but sees something unsettling in his father's eyes when he looks at Flag. Baxter says both Jody and Flag are now yearlings, and the thought somehow grieves him. Jody takes Flag into the barn and warns him sternly not to do things which will upset Baxter. The family eats dinner and Jody falls into bed exhausted.
In the morning they plant the cotton. Flag leaves them early in the day but comes back to Jody by mid-morning. Baxter expresses serious concern about how much Jody cares for the creature. The planting continues all week, and Baxter is "in a fever" to get all the spring work done quickly. When he and Caesar are straining to remove a big stump, Baxter suddenly turns white and clutches his groin. He tries to dismiss the pain but is clearly in agony as he barely makes it to his bed.
(The entire section is 250 words.)
Chapter 31 Summary
Baxter does not recover but will not let Ora call for the doctor. He suspects he has "been ruptured" but is convinced everything will be okay with time. Jody is worried but remembers far worse things from which his father has recovered.
Soon Jody reports that the corn is sprouting and looks perfect. Most of the next day Jody spends hunting with Flag. The next morning Jody goes to check the corn and is stunned to see no green shoots in the cornfield. When he examines the ground, he sees Flag's tracks everywhere and is devastated. When Baxter asks about the crops, Jody tells him about everything but the corn. Finally he has to admit that Flag ate the entire field of corn.
Baxter is not surprised and will tell Ora the news as gently as possible. When his parents summon him, Jody sees that Ora is tight-lipped but hears his father say they will try once more. Jody is to re-plant the corn and build a high-fenced corral for Flag.
Jody feverishly plants the corn and will finish in the morning. Ora is not pleased, but Jody takes his cue from his father and responds with "unarguing silence." Jody builds the corral but it is a strain to get it high enough; on the sixth day, Ora comes to help him. Unfortunately, their best efforts are futile, as Flag easily jumps over it—and then eats part of the second crop of corn. Jody is devastated and Baxter is heart-broken when he tells his son he must take Flag into the woods, tie him up, and shoot him. They cannot afford to starve this winter.
(The entire section is 277 words.)
Chapter 32 Summary
Jody and Flag wander west, and he tells himself his parents cannot make him kill Flag. Jody had raged and was soundly thrashed by Ora, and now he stops to think through possible solutions to this problem, just as Baxter does. Jody has an idea and walks the four miles to the Forresters'. The boys are all gone, so he asks their parents what they would do. Unhesitatingly, they say the yearling must be shot.
Jody's new plan is to take Flag to Jacksonville, but the animal refuses to be restrained. Jody is exhausted and rests for a bit; when he wakes up, he follows Flag's tracks back home. Jody sleeps with Flag in the barn and wakes up "stiff and miserable," but he knows he must face his parents when he sees that Flag has eaten the rest of the corn crop and a wide section of the cow-peas. Baxter understands when his son tells him he simply could not shoot Flag, so he tells him to go to his room.
Jody waits in silence then unexpectedly hears a shot. Ora has wounded Flag and begs Jody to put the animal out of his misery. Jody runs to Flag, but the animal runs away from him as if he were the enemy. Baxter tells Jody that he must be the one to put the creature out of its misery.
Jody screams his hatred at both parents as he snatches the gun and follows the wounded creature. Flag is at the top of the sink-hole and Jody watches him lose his balance and topple down the slope. Flag looks up at Jody with "great liquid eyes" full of wonderment before Jody unwillingly kills him. Now Jody falls on his stomach, retching and clawing the earth, beating it with his fists before fainting.
(The entire section is 304 words.)
Chapter 33 Summary
Jody walks woodenly toward Jacksonville. He will go to Boston, leaving his betrayal behind him. He borrows a boat and paddles all day, numb with grief but even more bitter that his father turned against him. Now there is no comfort for him anywhere.
On the second day, loneliness overwhelms him as he continues his journey. Suddenly he finds himself in open water and panics. He tries to find the mouth of the river he wants but cannot, and his hunger rages. Now he understands his parents' fear of starvation. He works his way along the shore and finds a cabin in which to sleep—a "drugged, nightmare-ridden sleep." His hunger makes him lethargic and Jody begins to sob before eventually losing consciousness. He wakes up in the cabin of a boat which has landed at Volusia.
The captain deposits Jody on shore; now there is "no place left to go, but Baxter's Island." He is convinced that his parents are better off without him and will not welcome him. He drops to rest near a cool spring and realizes it is the same spring at which he built a flutter-mill last April, just a year ago. He builds another flutter-mill but finds no joy in it, no "magic in the motion."
Jody is suddenly afraid he will never see Baxter again and races home. Baxter is huddled in front of the fire in his quilt. Baxter barely recognizes this thin, grimy boy as his son, but he is overjoyed to see him. Jody is amazed that his father still wants him. Baxter sees that something is different, that Jody is no longer a yearling.
Jody is old enough to choose his own destiny, and he chooses to stay here and help his father build their farm. That night Jody sleeps in his own bed, convinced he will never love anything more than he loved Flag; but he knows a man must endure his suffering and move on with his life. He dreams of a boy and a yearling running side by side through the forest until they are gone forever.

If you're looking for local artwork, jewelry or one of a kind gifts, a Grand Traverse County business has it all under one roof.
INTERLOCHEN -- When you walk into Michigan's Gifts & Treasures in Interlochen, it's almost like walking into a quaint cottage. It actually has wreaths, frames and other beach scenes that you can use to decorate your cottage or home...all of which local artists designed.
"We have over 130 artists. We do a lot of locals, a lot of people all the way to Houghton and Hancock area, all the way down to Detroit. They're all over Michigan," says owner, Paulette Mayer. Mayer opened the business last March. Besides art work, there is also handmade jewelry, scarves, gloves, even tasty treats...all under one roof and all made in Michigan.
"Unique one of a kind and that's what we're all about. I want you to say, 'oh my gosh, this is great, it's a one of a kind, it's a great price,' " says Mayer. One of those unique jewelry pieces besides Petoskey stone accessories, includes Leland Blues.
"A Leland blue is a glass that was a product of the iron foundries in the last 1800's, iron being smelted for railroads. So, it's like a by product from that, that had fallen into a lake. So, now people are harvesting that and making jewelry out of it," says Mayer.
Mayer says her driving motivation to sell the array of local products stems from tough economic times.
"It's a safe bet. You know where it's coming from and I can tell you the background of the person. It's very much economy and supporting our locals. We have to go back to the basics," says Mayer.
With this in mind, she's created a store that you can pretty much find what you need if you're in the market for buying local, and it's all just a one stop shop.
"We're in a good middle area, I think for everything. A lot of people from other states are coming here. I even have people from Germany, France, all over," says Mayer.
Mayer says when you stop in and buy a decoration for your cottage or home...or even buy a Leland Blue necklace, you're not only helping her, but also the local economy.
"They say for every dollar spent in Michigan, three-quarters of that comes back to our local economy. So in turn, that helps us all out," says Mayer.
Michigan's Gifts & Treasures has Facebook and Twitter accounts. For more information, check out their website: http://michigansgiftsandtreasures.com/

Wilcoxen is hanging up his whistle
Larry Wilcoxen worked his first basketball game in 1958-59, a grade school game between Castleton Camp Grove and St. Johns of Bradford. He was talked into it by his partner, Gerald Gustafson of Tiskilwa.
"They were going to pay us $5 and Gerald talked them into giving us $7.50 for two games," Wilcoxen said.
After 55 years and 2,849 basketball games, Wilcoxen, 76, is hanging up his whistle. The Walnut official worked his final game of his long career in stripes in last week's BVEC girls' basketball tournament in Walnut. He quit working varsity games about five years ago.

Microsoft explains 300′s disappearance from Live, licensing for Video Store
Robin Burrowes, Xbox Live marketing manager for the UK, has explained the disappearance of 300 from the Xbox Live Video Store in the UK, as well as giving us an idea of where it's off to next.
"Indeed it has," he said when we asked if the movie had actually vanished from the service, just in case our eyesight was giving out. "Basically, we get new films for a three month period, typically five months after theatrical release. Thereafter it goes to Sky, then terrestrial."
The Video Store's latest announcement was that Paramount movies are being added in the UK, including Transformers, 1408 and Goodbye Bafana.

The Tuesday Life & Arts column "Outsiders could fill pope's job" by Joe Blundo was an insult to all Catholics. It makes a mockery of one of the most significant events in the life of a Catholic.
The selection of a new pope is guided by the Holy Spirit through a small group of men who, like all humankind, are flawed. Blundo's suggestions and reasons pro and con for his "least likely candidates" were not funny, not entertaining, and not worthy to be printed. The column's only purpose is to degrade a sacred process and insult Catholics.
The Dispatch would not publish such a column about Jews or Muslims, but for some reason feels that Catholics are fair game. The Dispatch owes all Catholics a sincere apology.

I just purchased a 09 Vette ( Blade Silver) I need to clay it after really checking the paint. I will use #34 for that .
As far as wax sealant goes ... whats your thoughts ? This is a weekend car / garage queen . I know I can't get the depth pout of the silver , but looking for a clear dripping wet look. I will do the up front prep work ( clay bar) but need to know if I should do 20 or prep with something else first.
Also would like a QD suggestion . I am to understand that UQD is the same as M135 (as I read in another post) and I have 34 , but what would be a good pick. LT?
I was told of an OPT prescription on another board and not thrilled the way it look at all. Also the area I did do has next to no slickness to it like the little patch of M20 I did . It's night and day .

Reviews for Chicken Enchiladas(15)
Sort By :
This is my "go to" chicken enchilada recipe - so good! I often mix up the sauce before I go to work, pop it in the fridge, and just warm it up that evening before assembling the enchiladas. Makes the recipe even easier. My family loves this delicious chicken dish and we make it often!
Update: My husband cleaned up the leftovers and said they were really good. I will definitely make this again. I appreciate the fact that it doesn't contain canned soups.
I had some leftover chicken broth I needed to use, so I made this and it was good. Very mild, even with pepper jack cheese.
With 3 vegetarians & 2 meat eaters, dinner can be a challenge. This dish worked for all of us. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for the sauce. For the non-meat eaters, I sautéed some green pepper, onion & garlic, then added some rice & topped it off with a little sauce. It was enjoyed by all!!

Get Rifter 10: His Holy Bones | View All Issues
The Rifter is a ten-part serialized novel by award-winning author, Ginn Hale. The first episode, The Shattered Gates, was published on March 8, 2011. The final installment, His Holy Bones, was published on December 13th, 2011.
It is available as a zipped file of the 10 installments in the format of your choice (pdf, epub, mobi, lit). There will not be a one-volume edition in the foreseeable future as the 1000+ page ebook would be too unwieldy. However, there is a now a three volume print edition available from Blind Eye Books:
The Rifter One: The Shattered Gates (First 3 ebooks: The Shattered Gates, Servant of the Crossed Arrows, and Black Blades)
The Rifter Two: The Holy Road (Next 4 ebooks: Witches' Blood, The Holy Road, Broken Fortress, and Enemies and Shadows)
The Rifter Three: His Sacred Bones (Final 3 ebooks: The Silent City, The Iron Temple, and His Holy Bones)
When John opens a letter addressed to his missing roommate, Kyle, he expects to find a house key, but instead he is swept into a strange realm of magic, mysticism, revolutionaries and assassins. Though he struggles to escape, John is drawn steadily closer to a fate he share with Kyle—to wake the destroyer god, the Rifter, and shatter a world.
"The true sorcery here is in Ginn Hale's writing, which is by turns funny, fierce and lyrical. I can't say enough good things about her work. Rifter is an astonishing story: terrifying and yet romantic. I was bewitched from the first sentence."
—Josh Lanyon
"Hale is a master storyteller."
—Jessewave Reviews
How It Works
The The Rifter is a ten-part serial novel. Use the dropdown list to choose your preferred format. You'll be emailed a zipped archive containing all ten issues.

Praise for Ginn Hale
"An intricate world, well-integrated social issues, believable sexual encounters, and an interesting mystery make this dense, languorous tale appealing for any fan of romantic fantasy."
—Publisher's Weekly
"Lushly detailed, with believable, fully developed characters, this fantasy with homoerotic overtones is reminiscent of Mercedes Lackey's Vanyel novels and should appeal to a similar readership."
—Library Journal
"This ingenious fantasy romance continues to resonate in my imagination."
—Drewey Wayne Gunn, Lambda Literary Report
"Hale is a natural storyteller, and knows how to plot. It's hard to believe that this is a first effort. I found both sections of the novel unputdownable."
—Craig Gidney, Fantasy Book Spot
"Wicked Gentlemen… is so sharply observed, so uniquely constructed, so original, and so touching in places that I have to give it a high recommendation."
—Janine, Dear Author
About the Author
Ginn Hale lives in the Pacific Northwest, donates blood as a pastime, and tinkers with things. She is the author of The Lord of the White Hell (Blind Eye Books), Wicked Gentlemen (Spectrum Award Winner; Lambda Award Finalist; Blind Eye Books), "Feral Machines" in Tangle (Blind Eye Books), "Touching Sparks" in Hell Cop (Loose Id), "Such Heights" in Hell Cop 2 (Loose Id), and "Shy Hunter" in Queer Wolf (Queered Fiction).

We searched the web's ticket sites high and low, but no one has any tickets available for this event.
If you track this event, we can let you
know when tickets become available.
You will receive emails alerting you about price updates and ticket deals.
When you track performers and events on SeatGeek they'll be shared on your timeline.
Logged in!
Tickets for Music Festivals are sometimes mislabeled by the seller.
Some tickets are for a single day's entry, and some are for multiple days.
Please double-check your tickets before you buy.
SeatGeek's Deal Score is a rating that determines whether a ticket is a bargain or a ripoff. The higher the number, the better the deal. The worst options have the classification Awful Deal, with classifications proceeding all the way up to Amazing Deal (Deal Score of 88 or above). Amazing Deals are exceedingly rare--only 5% of events have one.
When buying tickets for any event on SeatGeek, focus on the tickets with the highest Deal Scores and you can be confident that you're getting a bargain.
For some events on SeatGeek, there are over 10,000 tickets available. It can be quite difficult to sort through all of those tickets and identify the best deals.
This is further complicated by the fact that, when buying tickets for live events, you cannot shop based on price alone. A courtside ticket for $50 is probably a better deal than a bleacher seat for $30, but this might not be apparent if you sorted by price.
Deal Score enables you to make apples-to-apples comparisons among tickets that are in different parts of an arena.
If considering going to one of several events, Deal Score, is also helpful for determining which event has the absolute best deal.

Horns blast in strongly once the tune gets rolling – and there's an urgent vibe that feels like "Peter Gunn" taken at triple-speed! "Law Breakers" is another nice crime-jazz number – more twangy guitar over these rolling mod piano lines – almost a variation on the theme from the a-side! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
