[Fabienne Bogle · Rating 4 out of 5]

An illuminating study of cultural norms and conflicts in a tiny West Texas town forced by it's youth to face change.

Just as the story was getting good or interesting, the author would switch into some pshycobabble and I'd get bored again.

Good Book if you know the back stories. My dad was Pastor at First Baptist from 64 - 68, I was only 4 when we left but we visited quite often.
