Frank remembers his 13th summer when everything in his family's life changed with the wisdom that forty years later and adulthood brings.

The summer of 1961 in the small town of New Bremen, Minnesota begins with a grim death assumed to be an accident, but then there is a murder. Frank and his younger brother Jake lose their childhood innocence as grim events continue in the small town. His father, a Methodist minister has taught his sons about grace, forgiveness and faith, but this summer will test everyone in Frank's family. Frank learns the terrible price of wisdom but also the enduring grace of God.
