Stop by my blog, and check out the awesome playlist for the coming of age novel ALL THINGS LEFT WILD by James Wade. Enter the GIVEAWAY to win a signed copy of the book!

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
After an attempted horse theft goes tragically wrong, sixteen-year-old Caleb Bentley is on the run with his mean-spirited older brother across the American Southwest at the turn of the twentieth century. Caleb's moral compass and inner courage will be tested as they travel the harsh terrain and encounter those who have carved out a life there, for good or ill.

Wealthy and bookish Randall Dawson, out of place in this rugged and violent country, is begrudgingly chasing after the Bentley brothers. With little sense of how to survive, much less how to take his revenge, Randall meets Charlotte, a woman experienced in the deadly ways of life in the West. Together they navigate the murky values of vigilante justice.

Powerful and atmospheric, lyrical and fast-paced, All Things Left Wild is a coming-of-age for one man, a midlife odyssey for the other, and an illustration of the violence and corruption prevalent in our fast-expanding country. It artfully sketches the magnificence of the American West as mirrored in the human soul.

The amazing adventure of Angeli continues. After her road trip to explore half of America and meet some people from online face to face she returned to Minnesota with a new sense of self, a stronger sense of faith, and a new long distance boyfriend. In [Once Upon an Ever After] [Angela N. Blount] shows that nothing worth having is easy but it doesn't have to be hard as long as you stand by what you know and believe. This is an incredibly well written and well told coming of age novel for today. I highly recommend everyone read [Once Upon A Road Trip] and [Once Upon an Ever After].

I saw this not knowing too much about it. I was expecting more of a comedy, it has it's moments. However it's more of a coming of age, teen drama. That said it is a very good character driven film and uniquely interesting in a funny kinda way. It tells the story of one guys summer working a Adventureland, a rundown old theme park. There he encounters a wide range of misfits who he becomes friends with. A good film, well directed and the actors make it an entertaining watch, not to mention a time trip to the '80s. Cool soundtrack as well from that era.
