A pregnant teenage girl, kicked out by her mother and rejected by the father of her child, searches for a secure place in the world. The boys, not yet adolescents, struggle to make sense of adult behavior and their mother's apparent abandonment. In the small town of Holt, Tom Guthrie, a high school teacher, fights to keep his life together and to raise his two boys after their depressed mother first retreats into her bedroom, and then moves away to her sister's house. We hope they will provide you with new angles from which to approach and discuss this powerful tale of seven lonely lives set on the stark but beautiful High Plains of Colorado. The questions, discussion topics, and suggested reading list that follow are intended to enhance your group's reading of Kent Haruf's Plainsong.
