Product DescriptionGod lives in my hometown. History associates four ancient world capitals as having "seven hills:" Byzantium, Babylon, Jerusalem, and Rome. On seven hills four hours south of Washington, D.C., sits Lynchburg, Virginia, a town built on a river and put together with good intentions. Over one-hundred churches in fifty square miles.Brooks White lives in these hills; too old to be a teenager, too young to be an adult. Every day he strives to be what the people around him become so easily; happy with themselves and joyful in their faith. He is surrounded by the normalcy of a town full of people waiting to die. Brought home by the suicide of his childhood friend, Brooks is comforted by a white haired girl who seems to show up as his loved ones pass away. Their story is the pain, agony, Japanese wrestling, and grilled cheese that comes with living.About the AuthorB. Thompson Stroud is poor at writing author blurbs. The art is more important than the name attached to it, but Stroud watches wrestling so condescending snootiness is negated. The author has lived in Lynchburg, Virginia, forever, and will do so with love despite there never being anything to do.
