In the gentle summer of 1963, Glenn Sorensen is a high school senior, a small-town guy looking forward to college and career. While lounging with buddies by poolside, Glenn is amazed to be tapped on the shoulder by the beautiful and mysterious Amy Rivera, a classmate with whom he has spoken only once. Glenn has heard the swirling rumors about Amy’s family, but he is smitten. Despite the fierce opposition of his parents and the steer-clear warning of Taylorsburg’s bumbling and corrupt police chief, Glenn falls in love—tenderly, hilariously, hormonally, deeply, and eternally. But the rumors turn out to be true. Amy’s parents are conducting big-city criminal activity from their small town headquarters. And Glenn’s love for Amy sends a once naïve young man down paths he never imagined, leading eventually to the penitentiary from which he pens this autobiographical novel. Silent Hero delivers an epic love story wrapped in a searing metaphor of a generation’s journey through a turbulent era.
