Set in the 1940s and 1960s, Bringing Tony Home is a masterful modern example of a timeless genre, the bildungsroman. In the title novella, a boy returns to his old home to find Tony, his beloved dog who was abandoned when economic circumstances forced the family to leave. ā€œBringing Tony Homeā€ recounts this perilous journey in detail, movingly tracing the boyā€™s rescue attempts and his spiraling emotions as he endures changes occurring in his family. In ā€œElsewhere: Something Like a Love Story,ā€ a young boy finds forbidden love with a schoolmate scorned for her poverty.
