In this vivid, heartfelt coming-of-age set in the early ’90s, Jack Powers leaves Iowa chasing air that feels freer. He wakes in a New Orleans haze, then keeps driving east until the Atlantic stops him. In Jacksonville Beach, he finds a job at RBB Imports, a sharp-tongued crew, and a neighbor, Miss Mable, who teaches him that belonging isn’t given, it’s built. One dinner, one laugh, one honest risk at a time. Join the journey of bad choices, small mercies, and the slow thaw of a guarded heart into chosen family.
