Maybe it's winter now, and you're a boy, too.

Nathan Mann is the youngest of a family of professional hustlers and yearning dreamers. His memories of his own childhood and the family's history are a jumbled, confusing, and unreliable. As Nathan pieces together the histories of his parents and grandparents (with the help of a series of his grandmother's watercolors), he comes to realize the power and influence of that grandfather Eamon has had the lives of Nathan and the rest of the family. Terry Jordan is a master storyteller with a gift for lyric narrative and the creation of truly memorable and identifiable characters. Beneath That Starry Place is entertaining and engaging reading from first page to last.
