Your Silent Face follows the emerging adult, Stuart, through his first summer at home after his first year away at college. It is set in the mid-80's in the struggling industrial midwest city of Flint. The novel beautifully weaves together the struggles of Stuart as he tries to figure himself out, with the 80's new wave music scene. There is music, alcohol, drugs, dancing, fighting (including a basketball fight), graffiti, poetry, sex, chess, and a mysterious Viking. Read it! I loved it and am hoping to hear more from author, Tim Lane.

Great read, it is full of things I had forgotten about from the 80’s and the East Side of Flint. Congrats Tim
