 On Saturday, July 31, Donald Lystra, author of Season of Water and Ice, was on hand at the 28th St Schuler Books where he greeted fans and signed copies of his new title. Season of Water and Ice is
the unforgettable story of two young people confronting life during a

chronicles the unlikely friendship between a fourteen-year-old boy,
Danny DeWitt, and a pregnant teenage girl, abandoned by her boyfriend
and rejected by her family. The friendship is tested when the girl's
abusive boyfriend returns, and Danny's family begins to break apart,
leading to a crisis which threatens the unborn child, as well as Danny's
conception of love and manhood. Reflecting the politics and culture of
the 1950's, Season of Water and Ice is a realistic work that will appeal
to both adult land young adult readers. |
