In Bart Bare’s thought provoking coming-of-age novel, he introduces a new kind of Girl in the Appalachian Mountains. Recently orphaned, fourteen year-old Loren Creek is caught in the crossfire of a legal system that would control her future, and a foster care system that lays claim to her daily life. A fiercely independent Tennessee mountain girl, Loren escapes her foster home by fleeing to the mountains of North Carolina and with the help of a curmudgeonly mountain man she manages to evade detection by assuming the identity of a boy. Having cared for her mother since the age of 11 and having studied dance and gymnastics at her mother’s insistence, Loren grows into a strong-willed, responsible, and physically capable girl, mature for her age. When she enters high school her lean and muscular appearance makes it easy to be accepted as a boy. She reluctantly, becomes the kicker on the school football team, and becomes popular with boys and girls alike, causing stressful, confusing, even dangerous situations. Aldrich Herms, Loren’s foster care guardian takes her disappearance personally. He won’t give up until he finds her and places her with a good family according to his rules."Girl is a heart-warming tale that will have you rooting for Loren as she tries to find her place in the world." – Steve Cushman, author of Heart with Joy and Portisville winner of the 2004 Novello Literary Award.---"Girl" is a winner. Feisty tomboy Loren won my heart and cheers as she kicked her way from orphan hood to woman hood.” – William F. "Bill" Kaiser, Author of Bloodroot---“I so enjoyed meeting Loren…an intrepid and enterprising young woman who is determined not to submit to a desolate future, and with grit and wisdom overcomes her woes. In the process of creating a new life, she also changes the lives around her and becomes everybody's good angel. The author paints an engaging picture of the Carolina High Country and its attractions, and gives us a lot of great sports writing, especially a fabulous football game that comes vividly alive. He develops his main characters so well that we follow their tribulations with our hearts and cannot put the book down till the final pages resolve all their problems to our satisfaction. A great read!” – Nora Lourie Percival, Author of Weather of the Heart, Silver Pages on the Lawn and Pell-Mell
