Hudson Wheeler is a teen for whom everyone had high expectations, but since his father was killed when he was ten, he's felt unmotivated to pursue much other than his art. During his senior year, he decides to home school, thinking he will get to relax and focus on his two lazy businesses. But instead, he experiences love and rejection for the first time; meets an athletic girl who shows him by example what it means to be a man; and solves the painful mystery of the WWII vet whose poignant plight forces Hudson out of the comfort zone of boyhood.
I felt like the author did a great job of showing how grief really affects someone especially children. With teenagers it is always unpredictable when a parent is taken away suddenly. Hudson had a lot to deal with but with the help of experiencing love, friendship and acceptance, he came out alright. A steady story not to detailed a little slow paced read.
