Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From a great American storyteller, a one-of-a-kind father and his precocious son are rocked by a time of change. The pair make an odd kind of family, with the bar their true home, but they manage just fine until the summer of 1960 when two new women enter their lives.
Tom Harry has a streak of frost in his black pompadour and a bar called the Medicine Lodge, the chief watering hole of the northern Montana town of Gros Ventre. Tom also has a son named Rusty, whose mother deserted them years ago. An odd kind of family, they manage just fine. Until the summer of 1960, when Rusty turns twelve. Change arrives in the person of Proxy, a taxi dancer Tom knew back when, and her beatnik daughter, Francine. (Bestseller)
