STOKED - 1969

  Experience the confusion, bravery, and hope of the Vietnam War era through the eyes of  fourteen-year-old Jake Edwards, in author Helene Forst's poignant coming-of-age novel, Stocked - 1969.

The world has gone completely crazy.

At least that's how it looks to fourteen-year-old Jake Edwards, whose whole life is upended in the blink of an eye.

Struggling with dyslexia and unable to read, Jake is sent to live with his wacky grandmother in the Adirondack Mountains in a last ditch effort to further his education.

But with his older brother off to war and America divided over its role in Vietnam, Jake finds himself learning a lot more than what's taught in the classroom.

Stoked - 1969 is a moving portrait of life in a time of crisis. Author Helene Forst seamlessly weaves together history, poetry, and a riveting tale of a young boy learning to question the world around him for the very first time.
