About this product

Product Information

Crazy Cow of the Appalachians is certain to interest children from 10 to 110 years of age. This humorous and heartwarming family saga is both current and refreshing at once. In her debut literary work based on a true story, author Nancy Perryman recalls the time when 90-year-old Grandpaw Al tries to rid the farm of all its livestock. His wife, Grandmaw Joy, prays for a miracle for fear her husband is about to relinquish his purpose for getting up everyday. As if in answer to her prayer, one orphan heifer named Orphie restores purpose to Al's life by jumping from the cattle wagon. However, alone from the herd eventually causes Orphie to grow outrageously weird, almost as weird as the neighborhood ruffian who has his reasons for hating that crazy cow and her human family. Learn why cow and boy have lives that parallel each other in many ways and how the uncontainable and uncontrollable duo wreaks havoc within the community. The awful ache of abandonment, jealousy, family secrets, mystery sketches, an elusive handmade box and a near drowning experience are just a few of the elements that add to the twists and turns of this almost true southern Appalachian adventure.
