Join Ron Bay, Jr., local author, as he discusses his latest book, Lost Highway, a story of James Thomas Autry, with the sands of time running out, sees in his wayward grandson himself sixty years past. In trouble at school, in trouble at home, and with an overall crappy attitude, James wants his grandson to know that his life doesn't have to remain on the same path. That redemption is possible. And so, he arranges a hunting trip for the two of them, down in the Ozarks, to spend time alone. And in their time together, James opens his heart and tells Jay his story. Jay loves his grandfather, but doesn't really know him. When he receives an invitation to join him on a hunting trip, he doesn't quite know what to expect. During their twenty-four hours together, he not only learns his grandfather's secret past and what skeletons lie in the Autry closet, but more importantly, he learns about himself. Lost Highway is a dual coming-of-age story suited for adult as well as YA readers.
