Synopsis
During the sweltering summer of 1987 in Execution, Texas, 17-year-old Seeger King realizes that his life is changing rapidly. Negotiating his relationship with his girlfriend and best friend, Cordelia, and trying to understand his crush on sophomore wrestler Kent, Seeger is trying to come to terms with the end of high school, his parents, and the future that looms before him.
While his friends escape into drugs and fantasy, Seeger must decide who to love, what to believe, and what action to take. Defying the expectations of both the coming-of-age and coming-out novel, Execution, Texas: 1987 is an innovative, compelling, and witty look at teenage life from a startlingly original new voice.
