Fiction by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Hayden Reese has an anger problem that lands him periodically in jail for assault, but he is also a caring man who loves animals. The people in the small town he lives in try to give him the benefit of the doubt because he has a tragic past: Hayden is an orphan, and his wife and fifteen year old daughter both died before he came to live there.
But then a young woman named Allegra Reese shows up to town looking for her father, and it seems that maybe Hayden hasn't told the truth about his past. The reader begins to get a look into his real past, however, and it's a different type of tragic. There's a reason he's so angry.
This book has a strange title but it was still a very good story. This author writes good characters.
I also read recently by this author: Funerals for Horses
