In its full-length edition, Keith Hale's second novel, Heart and Soul, is a character-driven coming of age story that incorporates warm (and often humorous) local color. In this condensed edition, some of the nonessential local color has been removed to provide a tighter narrative. Heart and Soul follows Arkansas country boy Ben Goodman through childhood and adolescence, focusing on Ben's life after he crosses paths with the book's other protagonists, Pennsylvania-raised brothers Ethan and Daniel Henry. Each boy has a compelling story, and when the sad stories of their separate lives merge into the tender stories of their time spent together, the result is both heartwarming and hopeful. Earlier versions and portions of this novel have been published under the titles Letter to a Shooting Star, What Daniel Did with His Life, and Who You Are and Where You Come From...........
