Tentative Title: Under the Sun

How does one make sense of the death of a family member in Iraq? This question reigns supreme for the Johnston family, who lost youngest son, Bobby, in the conflict. The pain threatens to tear the family apart, especially Bobby's older brother, Jamie. Only through rejecting the easy answers proferred up by a superficial society and asking the right questions can Jamie hope to find meaning in his brother's death.

The first draft for this book is about 80% completed and is intentionally not a Christian book. It looks at life through the lens of a non-Christian and includes much of the family dysfunction and social perversity that is common in East Coast suburbia.
