Robert R. McCammon captivated millions of readers with his storytelling power
in such bestsellers as Mine, Swan Song and Stinger. Now he has created his
tour de force: BOYтАЩS LIFE, a masterpiece of magic and mystery, of the
splendors of growing up in a small town, and of the wonders beyond. Narrated
by one of the most engaging young voices in modern fiction, BOYтАЩS LIFE takes
us back to our own childhoods, when bicycles were enchanted steeds and
anything was possibleтАж

Zephyr, Alabama, has been an idyllic home for eleven-year-old Cory MackensonтАж
a place where monsters swim in the belly of the river, and friends are
forever. Then, on a cold spring morning in 1964, as Cory accompanies his
father on his milk route, they see a car plunge into a lake some say is
bottomless. A desperate rescue attempt brings CoryтАЩs father face-to-face with
a vision that will haunt him: a murdered man, naked and beaten, handcuffed to
the steering wheel, a copper wire knotted around his neck. As Cory struggles
to understand the forces of good and evil at work in his hometown, from an
ancient woman called the Lady who conjures snakes and hears the voices of the
dead, to a violent clan of moonshiners, he realizes that not only his life but
his fatherтАЩs sanity may hang in the balanceтАж
