Night Fires by George E Stanley
It's 1922, and thirteen-year-old Woodrow Harper has moved with his widowed mother to his father's hometown of Lawton, Oklahoma. Perhaps here he will be able to find the closeness to his father that eluded him when his father was alive. He is befriended by his new next-door neighbor, a powerful state senator who becomes the father figure Woodrow always wanted, who understands him in a way his own father never did. The senator introduces Woodrow to the best people in town, but Woodrow soon realizes the best people have some terrible secrets, and to be accepted by them he has to do things that make him abandon his own values, culminating in a terrifying act of violence close to home.
George Edward Stanley is a language and linguistics professor at Cameron University in Oklahoma. Stanley often wakes up in the middle of the night with an idea for a story. He must be awfully tired because he has written dozens of books, both fiction and nonfiction, for children! He lives with his wife in Lawton, Oklahoma.
