Publisher's Synopsis
"...our old friends now scattered like leaves in the wind...the common fate for all coteries since the dawn of civilization, to dissolve in such a manner, but there is something uniquely tragic and uncommonly ignoble in the way in which it happened to ours."A coming of age story told in Laine's classic style that follows the relationships of five friends growing up together in the sheltered isolation of St. Joseph Catholic School and a changing economy in the small factory town of Milford Keynes. Beneath the uncertainty of youth blossoms a love story with implications for generations to come and ushers in a new understanding of what reaching 'the end of the line' truly means in their lifetime and the tragedies that follow.
