(3) YA Ronald Earl, a.k.a. "Little Texas," has been preaching since he was ten. Now, at almost sixteen, he begins to doubt his calling--just as a mysterious ghostly figure appears. The protagonist's compelling first-person narration, peppered with biblical language, is full of relatable uncertainty. As the story accelerates, readers will find themselves startled by both the personal and actual demons Little Texas must face.
