BONZE (bOHnz) A Coming-of-Age Novel

Are you looking for a thrilling and suspenseful story of heartache, hope, redemption, and love that will make you feel something long after reading it?

When 10-year-old Fin is orphaned and sent to live with strangers, he soon finds himself a witness to a murder and an accomplice to another. As if this wasn't enough, he is mercilessly tormented by bullies and desperately trying to keep a dark secret.

When Fin trips over a tennis shoe sticking out of the hard ground in the Colorado woods behind his caretakers' home, what he discovers is exciting, confusing, and terrifying, and he must keep the secret, no matter the cost.

Kirsten is the prettiest girl in school and shouldn't like an outcast like Fin, but she does.

Terry "Mad Dog" is rotting away on Death Row for killing most of his family and nearly 20 random boys scattered in shallow graves across the country. His long-haul trucking job kept him one step away from authorities for years. So now he will do anything to keep himself from being the next inmate executed, including deriving a sick game where one child's location is released on the same day each year, buying him more precious time as families wait in agony for their year to come up.

When the timeline is cut short, the game goes into full swing, but Jonathan, a brilliant attorney, is desperate to find his own son, who is far down the list to be found. As one year turns two, the family man trades his confidence for a bottle and careens head-on toward personal and professional disaster.

When worlds collide three years later, countless lives will be forever changed.

This coming-of-age novel intertwines adventure, loss, heartache, murder, neglect, perseverance, young love, family, faith, and forgiveness.
