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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Lockette\u003c\/b\u003e is a teacher, writer, and former journalist who lives in Jacksonville, Alabama.
