Punk don’t care and you can’t make him. No one can. His mother Sara quit trying and his teachers don’t know how. The school counselors have the paperwork to prove it. Against a backdrop of public education we know to be true but seldom confront, even the lost and unreachable are not beyond the purposes of grace.
So what happens when Peter Dwayne Smith, this second-time seventh-grader, kills a man and no one believes him when he tells? Even Kip, his one and only friend, doesn’t buy the story. Awakened, Punk’s soul begins a journey to find a confessor. Through the labyrinth of his small world, the boy is guided through what he knows only by television clichés, a history of dismissive contempt, and the memory of the last time his mom tried to help. What he discovers is something far more powerful and redemptive than he ever imagined.
This is the story of a young salvation, of one who seeks and finds; of one who asks and receives.
