Produktbeschreibung
In the 17th century, Derbyshire had unconventional and independently minded hill preachers. Through an accidental encounter up on the hills, their influence begins to make itself felt over Jim and Lucy, 21st century high school students. They are caught between the controlling behaviour of Jim's parents and the subversive influence of Lucy's family, whose forbears were also hill preachers. Jim begins to fall out of the world of tweets, texts and crowd judgements and, with Lucy, he finds himself having to address much deeper questions of personal morality, aided only by a much older set of beliefs. They elope and go on the run, an act that exposes them to becoming an on-line scandal. The authorities become involved and a pursuit of Jim, Lucy and their aged accomplices ensues from which, at the last moment, they escape, thanks to a surprising intervention that gives the two of them hope for their future and the future of nonconformity.
Autorenporträt
Jeremy White is a tenured cynic who penned a hopeful book. He founded South Louisiana's premier satirical publication in 2004, eight years before relaunching the award-winning Red Shtick Magazine as its all-digital progeny, The Red Shtick. The comic-turned-writer created and produced Baton Rouge's first and only weekly stand-up open mic for years, during which Jeremy hosted and produced The Red Stick Comedy Block, a locally broadcast, weekly half-hour TV show featuring area comics performing before live audiences around town. The passionate Cajun can often be heard on various popular radio shows as either a guest or a guest host. A longtime football official and Mardi Gras krewe captain, Jeremy earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at LSU, where he met his wife, Edie. They've been happily married since 1992 and live in Baton Rouge with their cat, Waffles.
