    About this ebook

    Follow the exploits and misadventures of the young adult, Jimmy Adams, court-ordered to be medicated and a champion to the locals of his aging community, yet his own self-fulfilling worst enemy. Working at his uncle’s corner store as a checkout clerk, Jimmy has the unique opportunity to interact with the many characters that frequent the establishment and touch their lives in ways that no one could imagine. He feels empty inside, thinking he is void of a worthwhile career; his parents, who were tragically taken from him; and a sweetheart for his affections. But the reality is, this tiny part of the world would never get along without him. Can Jimmy rise to beat his own demons, outsmart the local bully, win the hand of the local ingenue, and learn the most important of all life lessons?
