Book
Ricochet river / Robin Cody.
"It's 1960 in a small Oregon logging town called Calamus--about as far into the middle of nowhere as you can get. Wade Curren, star of the high school baseball and football teams, is content living out his role of local hero, holding court in a corner booth of the town diner where his girlfriend Lorna waits tables. Working to support her family, Lorna wants a bigger life. She tries to show Wade that Calamus is a trap, that he should fear the town's rigid boxes and expectations, but Wade is too comfortable. When Jesse Howl arrives from the Klamath Warm Springs Reservation, his presence shakes up the town. Jesse doesn't seem to know how 'an Indian should act.' Yet even as he and Wade compete for the top spots on the baseball and football teams, they become friends. As they raft the river, fish, and listen to Wade's grandfather's stories, Wade, Jesse, and Lorna forge a lasting bond and discover exactly how much it could cost them to be themselves." -- Back cover.
