Plot Summary

Disenchanted by the church and his devout Christian mother, 19 year-old Donald escapes Texas for the liberal Northwest and attends Reed College at the urging of his secular father. At Reed College, Don discovers that he wasn't prepared for just how much more anti-religious and anti-everything his classmates, from all walks of life, prove to be. In an attempt to fit in, and--more importantly--to find himself, Don joins an activist group that forces him to question his actual beliefs.
