Desire Lines

by Jack Gantos
abstract

This abstract is from the cover of the book.

Sixteen-year old Walker has discovered something potentially scandalous — two of his female classmates are having an affair. It is a secret he keeps to himself, until he is caught up in a witch-hunt against homosexuals set off by a local street preacher. Walker trades the secret to protect his own reputation. But after betraying the girls — and his one chance for redemption — he is left to stand by and watch as tragedy unfolds that only he could have prevented.
