Heart of a Shepherd
Rosanne Parry (2009) , 161 pages
Ignatius is the last of 5 boys. His father, grandfather and brothers are all ranchers. Brother (Ignatius) can work the ranch, but it is obvious that it is not his calling. Brother is the only boy still living at home. His brothers are off at school or in the army. When his father's reserve unit is called to go to Iraq, Brother realizes it is up to him to keep the ranch running while everyone else is away. It is a terrible burden, but one he shoulders mostly without complaint. Still, it is obvious this is not the life he wants. The problem is, he doesn't know what he does want, and now he is too busy to find out. Until a moment of tradegy opens his eyes to his true calling.
