Synopses & Reviews
Slacker George Young accidentally lands a job at a small AM station in Leesburg, Virginia. He hopes to begin a career and to finally, maybe, grow up. Working as a reporter and newscaster, George meets a wide variety of locals. Soon, he learns there are hidden forces at work in the county that pit developers against farmers and suburbanites against country folk. He also meets Rose Adams, who captures his heart with a glance, and Steve Jones, who may be an ex-CIA assassin who believes George was sent to kill him. Adding to George's confusion are anonymous letters containing scandalous statements about local residents. Why does someone want them aired, and why did they choose George to air them? Motives remain hidden. People are rarely what they seem. This modern tale is told in an engaging voice that will make you smile, make you laugh, and make you want to keep reading.
