About the book:
“J.B. Blare, a teenager from a prestigious family, grows up with many of
the amenities life has to offer. He lives in a beautiful home, his
family truly cares about his upbringing, and he attends only the best of
military academies. But in 1969, J.B. decides
life has more to offer. When his father refuses to let him attend
public school, he runs away from home with just 32 dollars and his coin
collection. While camping, J.B. meets a girl named Rainbow, who is also
traveling where the winds take her. The two share
an immediate connection, and Rainbow gives her friend a new name,
Eagle. Eagle continues his journey across the country, hitchhiking and
walking to new places that he had never before seen. Eventually, he
makes his way to Camp Life, where he meets Lee Boyd,
a teacher and counselor. Although Eagle is the one trying to discover
his identity and find freedom, Lee begins examining his own tormented
past as he tries to help this newcomer. Together, against the backdrop
of Vietnam, dysfunctional families, and confused
sexual identities, these two heroes will take steps to begin their
recovery and fulfill their potential in Of Good Courage.”
