He even learned a little about growing up . . . \u003cbr\u003eThis novel, set in rural Oklahoma around the turn of the century, is a heart-warming family story--full of rich detail and delightful characters--about a time and place when miracles were really the simplest of things...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilson Rawls is the author of the timeless classic \u003ci\u003eWhere the Red Fern Grows\u003c\/i\u003e and the acclaimed novel \u003ci\u003eSummer of the Monkeys\u003c\/i\u003e.
