Blue Rodeo

by Jo-Ann Mapson

Forty-year-old Margaret Yearwood moves to Blue Dog, New Mexico, to establish residency for her sullen teenage son, Peter. Having just lost his hearing from meningitis, Peter is attending a school for deaf children and having nothing to do with his mother. Margaret finds solace in painting and her fifty-two-year-old, slow-talking neighbor Owen Garrett, a recovering alcoholic with his own bad memories. Strong language and explicit descriptions of sex. 1994.
