How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets (Standard format, CD)


Evan had a hit single, but that was ten years ago. Thirty-one now, he's drifting, playing in a local band and teaching middle-aged men to coax music from an electric guitar.

When his high school sweetheart is killed in a car crash, he finds himself suddenly responsible for a resentful fourteen-year-old son he's never known. Now Evan must get his life together and face up to the burning secret that haunts him.
