Eighteen, Orthodox, pre-med — and discovering that honor roll is easier than honesty at home. Faith, college, and the year the floor dropped out twice. It takes place in the same universe as 'A Well-Lived Life'. Testimonials: - One of the most accurate depictions of early-1980s rural southern Ohio I have encountered in historical fiction. - Overall, the novel is highly authentic historical fiction, with exceptional period detail that feels lived-in rather than researched.

Odd pairings can make the strongest bonds.
