About the Book

Tom Judd's past is clouded in awkward memories, unfulfilled dreams, and hate. For him, becoming a man is all about remembering the boy he was and learning why he wasn't the boy he should have been. As a teacher, his students are daily reminders of why he failed and why he, belatedly, has to learn to do it right. But it is the publication of a book capitalizing on a former teacher's scandalous past and mysterious disappearance that catalyzes Tom to "make it right." This young man's odyssey is not just painful, it is ugly, and raw, but his story is also humorous and sensitive, and, ultimately, strengthened with hope. Hope for all of us who have ever had to tell a lie, endure a parent, or grow up.

About the Author

Eric Healy lives in Portland, Oregon where he writes, usually after midnight, and tries to be Dad, husband, home repair guy, and other things. Some are more important and distracting than others, but of the necessary things he can actually take credit for, writing remains the hardest and most painful.
