I Will Not Leave You Comfortless is the intimate memoir of a boy's growing up in small-town Missouri, from a writer known for beautifully expressive and strikingly lucid prose (Thisbe Nissen)

In 1984, the eleventh year of his life, Jeremy Jackson experiences his first love, the loss of his grandmother, and his sister's departure for college--seemingly ordinary events that erode his innocence in a way that will never be fully repaired. Through tenderhearted, steadfast prose--redolent of the glories of outdoor life on the family farm--Jackson recalls the deeply sensual wonders of his rural Midwestern childhood: thunderstorms roaring off the prairie, fresh milk in bottles, bicycle rides in September sunlight, and the horizon vanishing behind tall grasses. At once elegiac and startlingly direct, these fluid and powerful missives evoke the pain and beauty that mingle within even a happy childhood.
