Against the Grain YA Edition

Phil M Williams

A tyrannical high school principal. A young anarchist with nothing left to lose. One way or another, this place is goin’ down. Matt Moyer is an orphaned teen growing up on a primitive farm in the Pennsylvania coal region. He’s homeschooled by his eccentric and philosophical great-uncle, who’s a stickler for logic, reason, and intellectual honesty. Despite his uncle’s reverence for veracity, inconsistencies arise regarding the old man’s shady past and the teen’s parents.

Through a harrowing sequence of events, Matt is forced to attend a public school. The feral teen finds it difficult to cope with the hypocrisy, propaganda, and misinformation that adults and children so readily accept. Faced with the possibility of expulsion, arrest, and ostracism, he must make a choice. Will he choose the easy lie or the hard truth?

Buy this book to find out if Matt conforms or goes Against the Grain. Some adult language and content.

Mr. Williams does it YET AGAIN! I’ve yet to read any of his work that’s not truly EXCEPTIONAL… I read a large number of books, but rarely do they warrant the time and effort of a review. For me, Phil Williams is the exception. Against The Grain is (another) grand slam, out of the park home run!!! - Carrie

This story had me teary eyed at times and quietly laughing at others. All in all, a story that will stay with you in the quiet moments in your life for years on end. And leaves you with the deep inner satisfaction and appreciation of what you, the reader, has. A brilliant read. Enjoy! - Manie K.

I really LOVED this book. The story is very well written and the characters are interesting and fresh. - Kindle Reader
