This is a book on a young boy that experiences a lot of adversity growing up with no structure but in the end has done the work to heal the little boy that's inside him.

In June, 1953, after my freshman year at Stapleton College, a twenty-minute drive was all it took to go from there to Roanoke, Virginia and a summer job with Piedmont Investigations. Looking back, it’s hard to believe what all happened in those twelve short weeks away. And I didn’t have to wait long for it to start. I mean, in the first hour of walking in the door I was smack in the middle of a blackmail investigation. High-octane stuff, and more to follow.

The Roommate is a fitting title for an account of my first year at Stapleton College, where she and her worrisome problems rub off on me, steal sleep and even force me to hide once or twice. Some will say I bring it all on myself by butting in, and maybe I do. But in my defense, it’s mostly necessary. In the middle of her mess, my own life takes a swerve, upending plans for a snug little future.

I knew falling for him was wrong. I did it anyway, his half smiles and blue eyes pulling me deeper. Blue eyes that made me soar. He wasn't mine to keep, though. And like all good and rare things, it came to an end. Then, he strolls into my life, armed with dimples and gray eyes. Gray eyes that ground me. He smashes through my defenses, stealing what is left of my heart. Now, my heart is a war zone, past and present battling for my forever. They say lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. I call bullshit on that theory.
