Harley's best friend, Billy, urges him to sidestep the woman, fight the developer, and get rich off the calf. But Harley takes the opposite tack, hoping to avoid what his devout, dearly departed mother would have called ?a scene.?Then the secret gets out?right through the barn door?and Harley's ?miracle? goes viral.?A fun commentary on small-town America and today's insatiable appetite for goofy stories to fill the Web.??New York Post (?Required Reading? lead pick)?A hilarious glimpse into small-town life . . . combined with meditations on the meanings of faith, environmentalism, development, and romance.??Library Journal (starred review)
