About this listen

When the Chaparrals decide to relocate to the small town of Waverly, Indiana, they inadvertently sign their son up for a trial-by-fire. Coming of age at the dawn of the new millennium, Jay Chaparral must also come to terms with the strange sights and sounds that occur in Waverly. These odd occurrences have nothing to do with the unfulfilled Mayan or Christian prophecies hanging in the air at the time. Are they like rocks, thrown at random, into a solitary pond? Or are they like stepping stones across Waverly's stream, leading Jay toward something greater? The phenomena are sometimes substance-induced, but just as often they come entirely unsolicited. When Jay and his accomplices decide to test Waverly, Jay begins to discover a sinister presence at work in the town. Waverly has a magnetic pull that few escape, physically or mentally, but Jay was the one that got away. Here, for the first time, Jay shares his tales from the midwestern front.
