Notes
Description
"When his father-in-law first took him hunting on his Kentucky farm, Walt Harrington had never shot a rabbit. A high-profile Washington Post reporter with a taste for manicures and designer suits, he felt silly in his borrowed hunting gear, not quite knowing how to hold the shotgun Alex had given to him as a gift. And he worried about whether he would get along with Alex's hunting buddies - three rough-edged African-American country men who seemed to have nothing in common with the white city slicker. Little did he know that over the next twelve years of Thanksgiving hunting trips, these four "good ol' boys" would change not only his opinions about hunting, but his feelings about the things that mattered to him most." "In crisp, sometimes poetic prose that brings autumn mornings crackling alive, The Everlasting Stream shares the lessons that led Harrington to the good life. Even as he enjoyed dinner at the White House with foreign leaders and political heavyweights, he found himself longing for the hills and hollows that Alex, Bobby, Lewis, and Carl knew almost as well as the calls of their dogs. Over hard-won shots of bourbon and a steady stream of wisecracks (especially about the time he accidentally sprayed his father-in-law with shotgun pellets), Harrington came to appreciate the value of old-fashioned friendship and masculinity, the complexities of guilt and responsibility, and the enduring magic of a memorable moment. When his son turned twelve, Harrington took him hunting too, confident by then that his suburban boy would benefit from the men's brand of love that puts actions before words."--Jacket.
