God lives in my hometown. History associates four ancient world capitals as having """"seven hills: """" Byzantium, Babylon, Jerusalem, and Rome. On seven hills four hours south of Washington, D. C., sits Lynchburg, Virginia, a town built on a river and put together with good intentions. Over one-hundred churches in fifty square miles. Brooks White lives in these hills; too old to be a teenager, too young to be an adult. Every day he strives to be what the people around him become so easily; happy with themselves and joyful in their faith. He is surrounded by the normalcy of a town full of people waiting to die. Brought home by the suicide of his childhood friend, Brooks is comforted by a white haired girl who seems to show up as his loved ones pass away. Their story is the pain, agony, Japanese wrestling, and grilled cheese that comes with living. | Seven Hill City by B. Thompson Stroud, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
