Blowing in the Wind
Librarian Note: Alternate cover edition of ASIN: B00CCUGMEO.
A NEW ADULT novel narrated by the main character, Rail McClain.
During his four, carefree years in high school, Rail McClain majored in sports and minored in schoolwork. Now, eighteen years old, he is off to get his first taste of college life. Saying Rail is like most other American boys his age, is like saying lemons and watermelons taste the same.
Rail is independent, opinionated, and headstrong. He also contains a very large dose of frivolousness and facetiousness. Some think of him as lazy. However, in his defense, his caring grandfather often chuckles as he remarks, ‘Rail’s just blowing in the wind’.
Nevertheless, he's one his way and he's on his own.
It only takes him one year to crush his mother’s dream of his becoming a famous dentist. Then, to his parent’s dismay, Rail announces that he has decided he wants to be an actor as he feels he's movie star material. As they see no hope of his completing four years of college they allow him to attend a drama college in Hollywood, California. Once there, he begins to receive a very juicy taste of life.
