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\u003e Having 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\u003e But 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":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50597352472849,"sku":"NGR9781644213988","price":21.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51042781397265,"sku":"NIN9781644213988","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51333503746321,"sku":"CIN1644213982VG","price":6.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1644213982.jpg?v=1751421691","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/atty-in-love-book-tim-lockette-9781644213988","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
