Extended description

All Steve wanted was to earn a little money that summer in 1969 before returning to complete his senior year of high school. By the end of that summer he had determined to commit suicide rather than live with the consequences of his actions. What type of sin must be committed that would drive a good Christian kid to choose hell over living with himself the rest of his life? Shameful Innocence is a coming-of-age novel that rapidly paces itself with memorable characters that generate unwitting victims, harassing villains and a couple of passionate heroes. This emotional fiction, inspired by true events, is definitely not for the prudish. The poignant, somewhat disturbing thoughts that come from the mind of this average teenager may be daunting to some. Its sweeping expanse and simple message delivers a dynamic impact on those that participated in the turbulent sixties or wish they had.

Review by: Joy Smith on Jan. 27, 2011 :
This book caught my attention immediately & held it until the end. I'm already reading it for a second time & still loving it. The characters come to life in such a way that i actually laughed out loud & then cried out in shock. It's got everything i look for in a good book, thoroughly enjoyed it!
