Description
A poignant and powerful coming-of-age story, Labor Day is a beautifully written tale of love, sex, adolescence, and devastating treachery. Thirteen-year-old Henry's life is turned upside down when he meets Frank, a mysterious stranger who asks for his help on the Thursday before the Labour Day weekend. Over the next five days, Henry learns valuable lessons about jealousy, betrayal, and the importance of putting those we care about above ourselves. As Henry navigates this tumultuous period in his life, he is forced to confront the complexities of human relationships and the true meaning of love. With its honest and unflinching portrayal of adolescence, Labor Day is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after you finish the book. Written by acclaimed author Joyce Maynard, this novel offers a unique and powerful perspective on the challenges and triumphs of growing up.
