The year is 1981, and life in the small southern town of Hurlin, Arkansas proceeds at a leisurely pace. Tom Jenkins, a fatherless high school senior fond of math, has always figured he’d find true love, but no one ever warned him that equation could have more than one variable. Throw in a boss who falls for his mom, a pesky sister, a cousin who views aggravation as an art form, a baker who's downright scary at times, a lonely Sunday school teacher, a bully who needs to be taken down a peg, and, of course, a hound, and this story adds up to a formula for young love, coming of age, and the perils of wrong choices.
Available on Amazon and soon in bookstores.
