Senior year of high school in a dysfunctional household can be confusing enough without sharing the memories of a remote stranger. For two young men in middle America, it's just another Monday. Walter Monroe was a kid known as a wrestling prodigy. Now a teenager, he isn't known as anything. He's ready to move on from being an addictive personality who picks unnecessary fistfights - graduating and self-respect are the two things he thinks can fix him. He's unaware that across state lines, an identical Walter Monroe views himself the exact same way. The underprivileged Walter desperately survives by the skin of his teeth: petty crime and a part-time job are how he helps his mom pay the bills. The other Walter is a member of the well-connected elite by birthright: a guaranteed lifetime of bathing in luxury, opulence, and ignorance. Set on October the 4th of 1982, this novel explores two polar-opposite experiences from the eyes of one perspective. These disconnected stories last one day; together, they make up the 1st in a 10-part series that spans two weeks. Both Walter Monroes will be followed as their lives each get upended. Cracks form in the reality that separates the two distant people; amid the chaos, one commonality emerges: The Witch.
