About This Book
Chad Wilson, before his senior year of high school, is forced to move from his family farm to Hillcrest, a small town in Ironwood County, Minnesota. The troubled senior seeks to discover his true values in 1984 America: social, sexual, and moral. He questions everything around him as he is torn between his desires, his fears, and his convictions.
His journal entries, awkward at first, become a moving account of a young man's search for meaning. His journey leads to bitterness, confusion, temptation, and, ultimately, forgiveness. Throughout his struggle, his one enduring value is his utmost honesty--with himself and with his journal.
This is the first novel in the Ironwood County Chronicles, a loosely-linked trilogy focusing on Christians in conflict with the world, with those they love, and with themselves.
