Far from Xanadu

(2) YA A decade after M. E. Kerr's Deliver Us from Evie, Peters sets another strong-willed butch in a small midwestern farming town. Mike falls hard for gorgeous city girl Xanadu, though Mike's still dealing with her father's suicide two years earlier and the family's tanked finances. The parade of human drama is excessive, but Mike's dynamic personality and emotions carry the book.
