Blue Hole

In the late 1960s, seventeen-year-old Charley searches for an old mountain woman's grandson in a small Southern town, embarking on a series of adventures that lead him to uncover a sinister secret related to his mother's mysterious past. The novel chronicles Charley's coming of age as he explores his community's dark past. The story features the off-beat Southern flavor and black humor characteristic of Gearino's fiction.
