Roland West, Loner

By Theresa A Linden & Susan Peek
Roland West, Loner by Theresa A Linden & Susan Peek digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

High school can be tough on any kid, but it's worse for a loner.

Roland West, Loner is a contemporary Christian story about a fourteen-year-old boy who finds himself friendless at a new school and the subject of cruel rumors. 

Roland lives with his father and older twin brothers in a secluded house that resembles a castle—complete with battlements, turrets, and a secret passageway. Finding it hard to make friends at school, Roland is excited to learn about his father’s upcoming trip to Italy. He hopes to go, but one of his brothers stands in his way and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. 

When Roland ends up locked in the cellar, a neighboring kid and his autistic brother stumble upon the secret passageway and rescue him. Struggling to trust his new friends, secrets, rumors, and an unusual inheritance put Roland on a journey that just might have the power to change the life of this loner.

About Theresa A Linden

Theresa Linden has been writing stories since grade school. Her father was in the Coast Guard, so she grew up near the ocean, living in California, the tiny island of Guam, and Oahu (one of the Hawaiian Islands). Moving from place to place left her with the impression that life is an adventure. She has since learned that a life of faith brings the greatest adventures of all. So now she loves to bring the Catholic faith to life through adventurous stories. She has books for children, teens, and adults. Three of her books won awards from the Catholic Press Association. She is a member of CatholicTeenBooks.com and the Catholic Writers Guild. Her books are featured on Catholic Reads, Catholic Mom and Daughter, and Virtue Works Media. A wife, homeschooling mom, and Secular Franciscan, she resides in northeast Ohio with her family.

Susan Peek

Catholic novelist Susan Peek is a wife, mother of eleven children, and a Third Order Franciscan. Her passion is writing novels of little-known saints and heroes, especially for teens and young adults (and anyone young at heart). She is an active member of the Catholic Writers Guild, teaches creative writing in her spare time, and is currently continuing work on her series "God's Forgotten Friends: Lives of Little-known Saints."
