Iced Milk - E-book - ePub

It's the summer of 1924 in the small town of York, Georgia. Jack Hudson, a soon-to-be-priest, plans to live quietly and by the Bible-- until petty thief Lewis Ridley crashes into his life. Inexplicably drawn to him from the start, Jack finds everything he knows to be permanently changed by Lewis' wild ways and trademark grin. From swimming in the Canoochee River to running from the police, Lewis shows Jack an entirely new way to live.
But as Lewis draws deeper into trouble and Jack is pulled closer to the Catholic Church, the world begins to work against the duo. When York cries murder, Jack doesn't know who to trust-- and Lewis, where to run. Will Jack and Lewis be able to survive their changing times? Or will York tear them apart forever? And when the chips are down, is the blood on their hands?Iced Milk is a riveting and heartwarming coming-of-age story that delves into the gray areas of life-- an adventure just as relevant in 1924 as it is today.
