Publisher's Summary:
Los Angeles, 1958. Eisenhower is in the White House, Elvis is in the army, and eight-year-old Wade Parker is thrilled that Duke Snider and the Dodgers have moved west from Brooklyn. Yet all is not well in the Parker household. On the darkest day of his young life, Wade plunges into the midst of an unimaginable crisis. Worse yet, his younger brother witnessed what happened, and he can't keep a secret for a truckload of Abba-Zabbas. With an abundance of brotherly love and the unseen grace of God, the brothers venture alone on dangerous exploits around northeast Los Angeles. A powerfully imaginative coming-of-age story seasoned with hooligan humor, Billy Goat Hill is an inspiring account of a young man's quest for God. Culminating with a startling climax, the reader is embraced by the central theme of forgiveness and salvation that can only come from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Billy Goat Hill
Billy Goat Hill is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Took me back to my youth, those days of adventure and unbridled risks. This book shares the highs and the lows of youth, tugs at your heart strings, yet also has you laughing til your sides ache. Amongst all that, you also receive a wonderful message. I highly recommend this book!......Kerry

I haven't read it yet, but based in the small summary I bet it will be a very good read.
So easy to tell that this is something special
This book immediately caught my eye very early on this year in CBD's catalogue. And just when I saw the cover, I knew that this had to be something pretty special to the author's heart. I guess when it comes down to it, what author doesn't write about something that's in the blood, you know? Every book that comes out comes out with a reason. But this seemed to have more than just a purpose, and that was what attracted THIS man to read "Billy Goat Hill" by Mark Stanleigh Morris. I was correct, because this was worth every penny off the cover price, and then some.
Well, you meet the Parker brothers! At least you meet Wade and Luke, and Wade does a find job as narrator. He talks about how it all got started on Billy Goat Hill with a dare to ride The Crippler! You learn how him and Luke meet Scar, later in the book known as "The Sergeant" as well as his special friend, Miss Cherry. You will learn that Wade and Luke love these 2 special people. The love for them is like the love of their dog, Mac. You are taken to some of the glory days of Duke Snyder, and you may have inner debate of whether Don Drysdale or Sandy Koufax is the better pitcher of that era. Depending on your nature, you might develope a slight hatred for mockingbirds, or come to love them all the more.
But when it comes down to it, Morris has a message. Can we forgive? Can we come to an understanding at times? There is a quiet understanding in this, even through our inner demons, and it just goes to show that love can conquer all, and that Christ can heal a broken heart. While that doesn't give anything away, I think I'll leave it at that. But in saying that, do yourself a favor and check this out! Very special indeed!! This deserves more than a pat on the back.
