Whittington's gift with words is reason enough to enjoy. Mark Cloud, the enormously appealing, literate, self-deprecating young hero (Publishers Weekly) from Fred, Texas, finally escapes Fred to relish the anonymity of college life in the final entry of this widely acclaimed fiction series about a restless preacher’s kid in the 1970s. But the proverbial time of his life skips a beat when a series of catastrophes leads him back home, and then on a soul-searching road trip through America’s heartland where his most complex questions find some surprising answers.

Mark Cloud continues his journey as a preacher's kid growing up in rural Texas in the 70's. Mark is at last leaving Fred--and the confines of his father's house--for college. At first he relishes in his freedom, enjoying hijincks with his new friends and a new girl that comes into his life. But while he has abandoned pursuing faith, God has not abandoned pursuing him as changes in his life force him to confront his profoundest spiritual questions--and reconnect with old friends and family. It seems escaping from Fred is going to be harder than Mark thought after all.
While this might sound like a bit of a downer, Whittington fills the book with several humorous scenes as Mark encounters several strange characters along his journey. Also you must have read the other books in the Fred series to make sense of this one. Fans of Christian fiction with memorable characters, zany characters, and thoughtful explorations of life issues should definitley check out the Fred series. (
