Chris, Nathan, and Halley Kate are three middle school outsiders contending with the daily rigors of what seems to be an ordinary life, but destiny has other plans. The miracles and the subtle magic of childhood go mostly unnoticed as the friends embrace fate and are forced to come to terms with The Bones of Boulder Creek. Written to be enjoyed by both adults and young adults, The Bones of Boulder Creek takes an unsparing look at the trials of coming of age and provides perspective to the story of growing up. A husband, father of five, and a public school teacher, S.H. McCord lives in Marietta, Georgia, just a stone's throw from where he grew up in Sandy Springs. Having spent many long summer days playing at the creek with his brothers, McCord felt it was time to craft some of those memories into a story for both his children and his students to enjoy. The Bones of Boulder Creek is his debut novel.
