(4) YA Coastal North Carolina in 1954 provides the backdrop for a teen's experiences with narrow-mindedness, group psychology, and, ultimately, independent thinking. Unfortunately, the story's broadly drawn personalities are all ensnared in an oversupply of heavy issues (McCarthyism, mistreatment of the mentally challenged, atheism, nuclear warfare, and political misdeeds, to name a few), and a rushed ending keeps readers at a distance. Timeline.
