(Set in the Upper Midwest, 1952-1991, Delicate Armor is the story of the Lindstrom family. With the loss of his baby boy, Will Lindstrom places his energy in young Callie, a cheeky girl who shares his bond with the outdoors. Inducted into the world of men and privy to their dreams and struggles, Cal learns to navigate waves of family conflict and loss while realizing her own place in the world.

Delicate Armor is about lost time, the tenacity of the human spirit, and the narrator's emerging consciousness as she passes from young girl to self-possessed woman. This story is Callie Lindstrom's tribute to the land and to her microcosm of men.
