Gather the Stones - Softcover

17-year-old Jack Turner is the son of a small town Wisconsin mayor, the captain of the football team, and is dating Mindy Flanders, the hottest girl in school. All of that is turned on its head when he saves Chuck Fredrickson from a flash flood. Fredrickson, reclusive and strange, is despised throughout town as the man who got away with committing a serious crime 20 years ago. But through subsequent interaction, Jack learns there is another side to him that nobody knows about, including what may have really happened. While Jack wades through disillusionment and embraces a new worldview, he also faces the social execution that comes along with it, not the least of which comes from his very own father.
