Books by Brandon R. Schrand

Doing things by the book"" acquires a whole new meaning in Brandon R. Schrand's memoir of coming of age in spite of himself. The ""works cited"" are those books that serve as Schrand's signposts as he goes from life as a hormone-crazed, heavy-metal wannabe in the remotest parts of working-class Idaho to a reasonable facsimile of manhood.

Reveals the promises and warnings of western boomtown life - stories of alcoholism, murder, betrayal, hope, and finally, redemption.
