Lance V. Packer

A storm at sea in a small boat, a stubborn teenager, an encouraging father, a striving stepmother, a new love relationship, and a terrible disaster... All, and more, are tumbled into this story of a nearly-grown boy confronting the challenges of coming of age. It is a story that will ring clearly in the minds of young readers-male and female-as they too face the pains and joys of transition out of their teenage years.
And as he struggles, adult readers will also be reminded of their similar challenges of growing into adulthood. Truthfully, regardless of age, we all are continually "coming of age" and face new obstacles and pleasures in this passageway of getting older. David's story is one that readers of all ages can identify with-to enjoy and contemplate.  Length is 208 pages.
