Synopsis

Eighteen–year–old Terry Anderson never expected to find a dead body. After all, the sleepy town of Grace, Montana, is a town of churchgoers, where people don’t lock their doors at night and where you can’t get lost if your brother tells you to.

Terry had no idea that the grisly body would turn his world upside down and shake it so hard. Nor did he realize that the gnarled fingers would point toward his family, prying open secrets long buried. He never would have suspected that every ounce of faith he ever had would be tested.

Phil Callaway’s writing has the ability to amuse, frighten, and touch the heart, sometimes all in the same paragraph.

About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Terry Anderson, whom readers met in Calloway's first novel, Growing Up on the Edge of the World, returns six years older (he's 18) and not a whole lot wiser. His conservative church has driven him away from faith, and although Grace, Mont., isn't exactly a hotbed of sin, Terry has a gift for finding trouble. The party-loving agnostic smokes, drinks and listens to forbidden Rolling Stones records disguised in Bill Gaither album jackets. Things aren't so good at home—Terry's mother has Huntington's disease and spends her days in bed, and his father struggles to raise Terry's little nephew while holding his family together. Life gets stranger and stranger: Terry discovers a dead body in an abandoned Dodge Charger; household items begin to disappear; a mysterious envelope arrives. A fraudulent healer, a brotherhood ring and an old financial scam will keep the characters busy until the final pages. Callaway spins his tale in a dry, humorous voice, strongly reminiscent of Philip Gulley's Harmony series. The plot isn't particularly stellar, but what will delight readers are Callaway's dead-on depictions of smalltown, conservative Christian life. At some point, Callaway will discover he doesn't need to rely on improbably dramatic plots to carry future novels, and he will become a writer to reckon with. (July)
