Raising a Modern Frontier Boy

**BAM! BAM! BAM!**  Three quick shots, and then the car sped away at full speed to the sound of screams.   *They say we only have two seasons here in Northern Michigan—winter, and road construction. I like winter. It’s basketball season. My best friends are Jackson, who talks a lot; Brent, who laughs a lot; and T.J., who is the coolest guy I know. It sounds silly, but the four of us are called The Frontier Boys.* —Jed Bracken  *The Frontier Boys* is the story of four high school boys whose undefeated basketball season and friendship are threatened after a drive-by shooting leaves one of them in a coma, and one of them with a secret. They are unbeaten on the court and inseparable off it—until Brent gets caught up in his older brother’s mixed up life.   Also included is *Raising a Modern Frontier Boy,* which recounts the fascinating journey of John Grooters through the parenting years with his son, Jedidiah. Their story culminates when 19-year-old Jed takes a starring role in the feature film *The Frontier Boys,* and embodies the faith and values that he, by then, had chosen to embrace and live on his own.Read less
