A timeless coming of age story that tells of a boy's dreams, hopes, fears and desires in Dustbowl West Texas, The Prince of Piedra Plana is destined to become an American classic, with themes and prose linking back to the works of Steinbeck and Wolfe.Theo Watkins, the teenage son of an affluent farm family, moves in one day from the grief of a morning's tragedy, through the adventure of a small town's venues and denizens, to the closure of a chapter in the town's history and the first throes of young love. The language is pure Texan and each character is an homage to a time nearly forgotten in a hurried age.
