Eighteen-year-old Travis Hollister is always the stranger who comes to town. As a twelve-year-old escaping a disordered and unhappy home and parents who loved hard but couldn't make it work, Travis left the Midwest to spend a summer with his grandparents in the Deep South. There he met Delia, the love of his life, who, tragically, was beyond his reach for two reasons-she was his aunt and she was sixteen years old. That summer made Travis guilty of crimes discovered and undiscovered. For his public wrongs, he did time, six years in a Nebraska reform school. For his undiscovered wrongs, he suffers mightily and wants desperately to be shriven. Can he achieve redemption or is he bound for the hell on earth he can imagine all too well? Driven by his need to rejoin the human community, he becomes the stranger who arrives in Panama City, Florida, searching for Delia, the aunt who was the idol of his twelve-year-old passion. Who is she now? What have the years done to her? Will she welcome the return of Travis or fear it? What will she do about the return of the stranger she once held to her teenage heart?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Aunts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Florida $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Suspense fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD53815EEA4011EDA3E935F65AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
