Description:

Set in the Pacific Northwest during the 1950s and 1960s, The Stranger In Me is a nostalgic memoir and work of historical fiction that captures the quiet beauty and emotional complexity of coming of age in rural farm country and small-town America. With vivid imagery, gentle irony, and heartfelt reflection, this story invites readers aged 10 to 18—and the adults who remember what it felt like—to explore the inner landscape of a boy growing up in a world shaped by chores, changing seasons, and the slow rhythms of nature.

Fishing trips, forest wanderings, and moments of solitude become portals to self-discovery, as the narrator begins to understand the subtle forces that shape identity, belonging, and resilience. At the heart of the story is the gradual unveiling of a father-son relationship—awkward, distant, and quietly transformative. For boys who feel disconnected from their fathers, or wonder what connection might look like, this book offers a tender, honest glimpse into the power of patience, memory, and unexpected grace.

Blending middle grade and young adult appeal, The Stranger In Me is a character-driven journey through mentorship, emotional growth, and the bittersweetness of change. It’s a timeless invitation to reflect, reconnect, and remember the stranger we all carry inside.
