When seventeen-year-old high school newspaper editor Jake
Powell, fresh from Alabama, lands in New York City to attend
Columbia University's prestigious summer journalism program,
it's a dream come true. But his father, a fundamentalist
Christian minister, smells trouble. And his father is rarely
wrong.
In Playing by the Book, Jake navigates new and
unfamiliar ways "up North," starting with his feelings for a
handsome Jewish classmate named Sam. What Jake could keep
hidden back home now rises to the surface in the Big Apple.
Standing by his side are a gorgeous brunette with a Park
Avenue attitude and the designer bags to match, a high
school friend who has watched Jake grow up and isn't sure
she's ready to let him go, and an outrageously flamboyant
aunt who's determined to help Jake finds the courage to
accept love and avoid the pain that she has experienced.
Provocative and moving, Playing by the Book is a
feel-good novel about the struggles and triumphs we
encounter in the search for our own truth.
