Asher's Faultby Elizabeth Wheeler
Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:The day fourteen-year-old Asher receives a Minolta camera from his aunt Sharon, he buys the last roll of black-and-white film and takes his first photograph—a picture of a twisted pine tree. Hes so preoccupied with his new hobby he fails to notice his dads plan to move out, his increasing alienation from his testosterone-ridden best friend, Levi, and his own budding sexuality. When his little brother drowns at the same moment Asher experiences his first same-sex kiss, he can no longer hide behind the lens of his camera. Asher thinks its his fault, but after his brother dies, his father resurfaces along with clues challenging Ashers black-and-white view of the world. The truth is as twisted as the pine tree in his first photograph.
