Summer of Love

The Summer of Love for Alphonso Peace in Bedlam, Ohio promises more than one mysterious fiasco. In already-tense 1967, suspense, romance, and history slide toward a collision course. Here, now, is The Alphonso Rap (novella)

Alphonso must survive it or fail trying.

The Summer of Love gives “love” a new twist: Alphonso struggles to understand his girlfriend, Fortunate Jones, while a group of guys with shady influence are closing in, looking for suspicious favors.

Does Alphonso become a solution to problems or the problem itself?  

For a place more racially diverse than most small Midwestern towns in the 60s, Bedlam still wrestles with its own identity, and Alphonso gets swept into a whirlwind of action and suspense.

His road map to finding himself is sealed with fateful choices in this novella and spin-off from the award-winning Shine in Bedlam YA series.
