** I'm currently editing ** Set during the late 80's in rural Louisiana, seventeen year-old Jake lives each day withdrawn from the small world around him. A year later he is still dealing with the loss of his mother. His father is quiet and distant, leaving Jake feeling isolated in his own home, especially after his older brother Ryan suddenly decides to take off. For years he’s been teased at school, and like everyone else who has found themselves at the bitter end of such cruelty, has no idea why. A new student arrives at St. Landry High and is immediately drawn to Jake and his shy, awkward personality. The two become instant friends. The shell of a world that Jake has been living in for so long is suddenly cracked. Through their mutual love of music, they create a unique bond that not only helps them both deal with the pain of adolescence but also make surprising discoveries about themselves.
