Riassunto:

“An emotionally wrenching story of teenage survival. (Author Rue) courageously plumbs the depths with an unblinking realism…an affecting story.” –Kirkus ReviewsSet in the mid 1970s--those seemingly tranquil years right after Watergate and just before the nascent punk revolution--Sea of Troubles is a complex, at times shocking, odyssey of self-discovery, empowerment, and hard-won, bittersweet triumph.Christopher Brooks--out to prove himself to his strict, deeply traditional WASP family--chooses to follow in his grandfather, father, and brother's footsteps by attending St. James'--the nation's most socially and academically rigorous secondary school. There, he faces numerous challenges, the greatest being his pedophile housemaster, the Nurse Ratched-esque Steven 'Doc' Grooms. In the course of his strange and dangerous journey, Christopher takes action against a sea of troubles--making numerous difficult (sometimes unconventional and risky) choices; choices which will ultimately free him from his past, but which will also haunt him for the rest of his life.From the author of Last Tango in Jacksonville.
