Young Paul Bradley's life seems carefree. He fishes, invents a
better rabbit trap, sings his heart out in church, and romps the
Appalachian woods with his pals. His family is supportive, his
mother kind. But a head injury compels the boy to write
obsessively. His secret journal reveals struggles with truth, sin,
and lies. He writes of unsettling behavior of adults, tries to tell
God what needs fixing, and wrestles with growing suspicions of
church teachings. By the time Paul is sixteen, his preacher-father
is still his hero. But Paul is angry. Why do I have to leave my
school, girlfriend, and pals? Why move again? His father is
evasive, demands obedience, and forces him to submission. Paul
wishes him dead. Crammed in the family car, Paul watches as his
father drives alone in the moving van ahead, accelerates, veers and
plunges headlong off the Yadkin River bridge. "A 1950's Huckleberry
Finn joins Holden Caulfield in a humorous yet poignant reverse
mystery."
