Tunnels In The Briar Patch: Short Tales Of Roland McCray

These ten stories follow the life of a boy named Roland McCray growing up during the massive social changes of the 1960's in a southern town that's immersed in Civil War history. Roland learns that people aren't always honest and that prejudice between races and religions doesn't seem to be any different than it was a century before. Doubts grow in his developing conscience about what to believe and he's influenced by his grandfather's example: faith isn't a thing to be shown, the way it is at his church, but is a quiet, unwavering certainty that all things work out for the good of those who truly seek the good in life. Roland wants that same certainty his grandfather lives and begins to seek his own Path, his own way to finding the good in life and living the way God intends. Elements of self-discovery and a deep sense of spirituality are woven throughout this nostalgic coming of age tale.
