Joint ‘72: …a novel about coming of age-twice

Dub Wiggins faces a dilemma: The military boarding school where he studied for four years, and has taught for more than twenty, wants him gone. Seeking revenge, he writes a memoir of the physical, mental, and sexual predation he suffered as a student, when brutality and betrayal derailed his first coming of age. But in his quest to bury the school in scandal, he finds a chance for redemption: He can either honor a solemn debt of friendship, or bring a murderer to justice.

He cannot do both, yet his second coming of age - his chance to do it right this time - hangs in the balance.
