A coming-of-age story about a fourteen-year-old boy, Grady Carlson, and the trials and tribulations he experiences at a private, all-boys, Jesuit high school during his freshman year. A diverse combination of family, friends, students and teachers guide Grady through nine months of sports, dances, teenage shenanigans and Latin, teaching him that a school is made up of more than glass, concrete, brick and mortar.
