Growing up on the banks of the Ohio River in Paducah, Kentucky, seventeen-year-old Thomas feels trapped by the constraints surrounding him, until he falls for his new history teacher, Alice, a woman eight years his senior who becomes his first love, and meets Shiloh, the anarchistic town misfit who becomes his role model.

Amazon.com description: Product Description:

In Paducah, Kentucky, seventeen-year-old Thomas feels as reined in as the mighty Ohio, a river confined by high floodwalls protecting his small Southern hometown. But all boundaries vanish when Thomas experiences first love with Alice, his new history teacher, a woman eight years his senior—and when he meets Shiloh, a misfit vagabond and anarchist who becomes his new role model. Fleeing to rural Vermont, this unlikely trio boldly pursues freedom, intimacy, and seclusion, unfettered by commitments and rules. But a life apart from the world does not ensure a life apart from the past—and for one of them, the past that emerges will threaten tragedy.
