Canciones de amor a quemarropa /

Hank, Leland, Kip and Ronny were all born and raised in the same Wisconsin town -- Little Wing -- and are now coming into their own (or not) as husbands and fathers. One of them never left, still farming the family's land that's been tilled for generations. Others did leave, went farther afield to make good, with varying degrees of success: as a rock star, commodities trader, rodeo stud. And seamlessly woven into their patchwork is Beth, whose presence among them -- both then and now -- fuels the kind of passion one comes to expect of lovesongs and rivalries. Now all four are home, in hopes of finding what could be real purchase in the world. The result is a shared memory only half-recreated, riddled with culture clashes between people who desperately wish to see themselves as the unified tribe they remember, but are confronted with how things have, in fact, changed. While lifelong bonds are still strong, there are stresses -- between the friends, between husbands and wives. There will be heartbreak, but there will also be hope, healing, even heroism, as they learn the true meanings of adult friendship and love.
