Jesus Cow

The Jesus Cow by Michael Perry
304 Pages

Harley Jackson's cow gives birth to a calf, in a manger, on Christmas Eve, whose hide has the face of Jesus Christ on it.  In the opening paragraph Harley says "Well, that's trouble".

Harley is a low key individual who is suddenly swept up in the hype of the Jesus cow while trying to fight off a developer, find true love.  Perry catches the spirit of small town America, fighting off decay with people who just want to get along.
