Peale—Atty for short—is thirteen and a self-described advocate for animals. She’s also a vegetarian atheist in the heart of the Deep South’s bible belt, where ribs and guns and church are a way of life, and euthanizing animals is just the way they’ve always dealt with strays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving already been to court to save her dog Easy, Atty spends a lot of her free time designing plans for a no-kill-shelter in her small Alabama town while juggling school work, hanging out with her best friend Reagan, and battling “the blues.”  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when Atty meets a mysterious boy at the county fair, her world begins to crumble. As it becomes increasingly clear that this boy—with his wild hair and rough hands--works with a captive animal, Atty must choose between her own values and the boy she's fallen for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAtty in Love\u003c\/i\u003e is about the tough choices that arise when two principled people disagree. It is also a story about what it means to, as Atty likes to say, “contain multitudes”—to love both men and women, to defend your mixed-race family in the American South, to care for someone who experiences the world in fundamentally different ways than you do. Tender and laugh-out-loud funny, the book includes an interview with the Harvard Animal Law and Policy Clinic’s real-life animal law expert Katherine Meyer.","brand":"Tim Lockette","offers":[{"title":"Seven Stories Press |  Hardback  |  2024-09-17","offer_id":46019511714047,"sku":"9781644213988","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_224be4a4-6d0d-40d3-98ba-5266e52f3439.jpg?v=1723176149","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781644213988","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
