Delicate Armor

Set in the Upper Midwest, 1952-1991, Delicate Armor is the coming-of-age story of Callie Lindstrom, a feisty girl who shares a special bond with her father. Without a son, Will Lindstrom places his energy in young Callie, teaching her his love for the outdoors. Inducted into the world of men and privy to their dreams and struggles, she learns to navigate waves of conflict and loss while realizing her own place in the scheme of things. This family saga is about the tenacity of the human spirit, the natural world, and our narrator's emerging consciousness as she passes from young girl to self-possessed woman. Delicate Armor is Callie's tribute to the land and to her microcosm of men.
