Billy Bartholomew is dead. His best friend, Eddie Proffit, is still alive. Billy and Eddie meet on the sledding hill--like they always have. And Billy is not about to let a little thing like death stop him from hanging in there with Eddie in his epic struggle to get his life back on track.
Comment
Add a CommentI highly recommend this book. It offers an interesting look at many contemporary issues - including a character who struggles with the realization that he is gay despite being a devout Christian. It's a quick read, and Crutcher keeps things interesting by having a ghost as a narrator and writing himself, briefly, into the end of the story.
