Unintended Consequences - Hardcover

by Jim Boatwright (Author)

Nathan Erskine never planned to teach-nor did he expect to encounter one particularly trying student and quit in his first year. Despite his doubts, Nathan's classroom would become the unlikely stage for a destiny far larger than he could imagine.

Matthew Beckham prided himself on being the bad boy, until a punishing military academy broke him down and a summer with his eccentric family built him back up.

And then there's Roderick Bastrop, a troubled young man who burst into an elementary school with a rifle and a plan-only to be met by Esther Evans, who saw in him not a monster, but the boy he still might be.

Years later, the lives of Nathan, Matthew, and Roderick will collide in ways none of them could have foreseen-testing the courage, convictions, and faith they share through their Southern upbringings.
