Showing results for "A Flight" in Coming of Age

Jarra never wanted to be a celebrity. All she ever wanted was to gain some respect for the people left on Earth: the unlucky few whose immune system prevents them from portaling to other planets. Except now she's the most famous Earth girl in the universe - but not everyone in the universe is happy about it, nor the fact that she has found love with a norm. Jarra's actions have repercussions that spread further than she ever could have imagined, and political unrest threatens to tear apart the delicate balance of peace between humanity's worlds.

Listen to Lou Hirschmann's poignant telling of the fictional adventures of 17-year-old Jeff Vetch, a teen at a strict boys' prep school. Confronting anti-Semitic bullies as well as his burgeoning sexuality, young Vetch struggles as much with himself and his own demons as he does with the older boys, some of whom are members of the dreaded "Hate Society" at school. From the opening moments, Hirschmann crafts an eloquent, compelling story of a young man against his challenging prep school environment.
