About This Book

It's autumn, 1957, the age of innocence, but change is afoot. In the great cities, people speak of Camus, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and his "slow, persistent wind" of fate that blows from the dark horizon of the future. In the half desert of Northeastern Oregon, high school seniors Ray and Angie explore existentialism and each other. But lurking behind them is Billy, star of the high school football team. Billy has tried to rape Angie, but only Ray believes her. And someone has been raping, even murdering, women over several counties. The police cannot act against the football hero without proof. Ray and Angie see the inevitable showdown coming. They know the police can't help. Bravely, they enter into the existential responsibilities of choice and confront Billy themselves, a decision that changes their lives forever. Forty years later, their choices on that memorable night have come back to haunt them.
