Red Sky at Morning is a minor marvel: it is a novel of paradox, of identity, of an overwhelming YES to life that embraces with wonder what we are pleased to call the human condition.
Unhindered by his mother\'s disdain for these tacky, dusty little Westerners, Josh comes into his own and into a young man\'s finely formed understanding of duty, responsibility, and love.
Josh narrates the story of his fateful year in Sagrado and, with deadpan, irreverent humor, reveals the events and people who influence his progress to maturity.
Josh, on the other hand, becomes an integral member of the Sagrado community, forging friendships with his new classmates, with the town\'s disreputable resident artist, and with Amadeo and Excilda Montoya, the couple hired by his father to care for their house.
A true daughter of the Confederacy, Ann finds it impossible to cope with the quality of life in the largely Hispanic village and, in the company of Jimbob Buel--an insufferable, South-proud, professional houseguest-- takes to bridge and sherry.
