A day of change in 1970 South Carolina

Set in Summerville in 1970, the novel concentrates on a single day in the lives of high school juniors Rusty Boykin and Ollie Wyborn. The counterculture’s emergence meets the norms of their conservative South Carolina community, bringing several student groups into the same landscape of social upheaval. Preppies, jocks, hippies, and country boys who reject calls for peace frame the era’s divisions through a local high school setting. The historical backdrop is not distant from the characters’ daily lives: it shapes the tensions surrounding them.

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction set in the 1970s.
