About
"No one talks about what happens when you fall in love with the boy next door -- not when you're the boy living beside the boy next door."
Jared has a story to tell and hopes to make a difference.
He and Luke grew up in a small Midwestern town where tradition is unquestioned, and deviation is dangerous. Their bond began over video games and a tree fort, but as childhood faded, they realized what they shared was deeper and must be kept hidden. An abandoned, rusted train car at the edge of a junkyard becomes their refuge.
When the outside world breaches their sanctuary, their lives are forever changed. Faith becomes a weapon, causing fear, isolation, and unanswered questions, forcing them to build lives apart.
After a life-altering homecoming years earlier, urgent news about Luke draws Jared back to the town and the people he once fled, where he must confront buried truths and long-held fears and decide whether first love can endure or whether some love was destined to live only in memory.
Raw, intimate, and unflinching, The View from a Rusty Train Car is an epic coming-of-age novel about first love, survival, and the journey toward self-acceptance. It has been honored with awards from Foreword Reviews, the National Indie Excellence Awards, and the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.
