The Day After Jimmy Got Saved

A young boy grows up in a traditional Mennonite home, but in East Tennessee, far from a large Mennonite community. He wants to fit in, both into the culture of his birth and religious tradition and also in the culture of his surroundings, known as "the world." Growing up is by nature challenging. Added to the usual growing pains are the complexities of two cultures that clash, namely traditional Mennonite culture and the southern culture of East Tennessee. Underneath the humor, wry commentary, and creative memory, the discerning reader will appreciate the resiliency of a young boy coming of age in challenging circumstances.
