Reading of If Jack's In Love

The Witcher family may be a lot of things - dysfunctional, hot-headed, owners of the most run-down house in Madison, Alabama - but there's one thing they aren't: "Witchers aren't snitchers." That family mantra is tested when 12-year-old Jack's brother becomes a suspect in the disappearance of the town golden boy. With the investigation and the social changes of the late 1960s unfolding around him, Jack suddenly finds his entire world shifting before his eyes. A romance blossoms with a wealthy classmate named Myra; a new friendship is formed with Mr. Gladstein, the jeweler; and the town is being transformed by hippies, black entrepreneurs and even NASA. Adapted from the New York Times bestseller, If Jack's in Love is a humorous and heartfelt story about honoring where we come from and deciding where we'll go.
