The stories in Animal Husbandry all deal in some way with mythology, from animal fables to imaginary friends to the myths people tell themselves. In some cases, the myths are fantastical: a farmer finds his cow has given birth to a surprising offspring; a guitarist tries to improve his skills with a visit to the crossroads; or a young girl meets with a visitor in the woods to plot against her neighbors. Others concern everyday mythology: a small-town ballplayer struggles to earn a nickname; or a man's clean bill of health arrives at the worst possible time.

What begins as another familiar season changes when a wounded deer leads one of them into ground that has been quiet for more than a century. Hidden in stone and shadow is a truth the land has protected through silence—human lives caught between hope and history, waiting where freedom once passed north.
