	The Fires of Spring James A. Michener Only a writer like Michener could create with such power and poignancy this bitter-sweet drama of a boy's journey into manhood. David Harper was an orphan, his legacy, loneliness and poverty. But his longing to embrace the world that abandoned him was stronger than the harsh realities. Even his experiences as an adolescent con man and petty thief at a carnival did not destroy his dreams. For it was there, at the amusement park, that David learned about love and about women. First with the vunerable young prostitute, Nora, who gave her heart as well as her body. Then with others . . . all of whom taught him the riches of himself. THE FIRES OF SPRING is more than a novel.
