Deliver Us from Evie

M. E. Kerr

HarperCollins, 1994 - Juvenile Fiction - 177 pages

Told by her brother Parr, this is the story of 18-year-old Evie, her Missouri farm family, and the turmoil created by Evie's love for the local banker's beautiful daughter. "It's a story that challenges the stereotypes, not only about love, but about farmers and families and religion and responsiblity--about all our definitions of 'normal.'"--ALA Booklist.
