Adventures in Greyland

By Guy Sines

Thirteen-year old oddball Wil tries to find acceptance, love, and his place in the world in this sometimes comical, often dark and graphic coming-of-age tale based on the author's real-life experiences and the headlines of the era. Set in the rough-and-tumble Trans-Alaska Pipeline heyday of the 1970s in Anchorage, Alaska, Wil negotiates school, relationships, baseball, sexuality, drugs, and abuse in a community whose scenic beauty hides its corruption and often violent crime. This book is both a love letter to and an indictment of the author's hometown, illustrating how closely the idyllic days of of youth can travel alongside unspeakable tragedy.
