The Hero by Ron Woods
About the Author
The Hero is Ron Woods' first novel.
"The first-time author also shows a sharp eye for character, from his thumbnail sketches to the broader narrative arc that traces Jamie's growth. Even if the momentum suffers as Jamie reckons with the consequences of the rafting disaster, his convincing development from feckless adolescence to responsible manhood testifies to this author's promise." Ages 12-up. (Mar.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Excerpted from barnesandnoble.com.
