So You're Leaving- The Complete Novel

SUMMARY:

In the summer of 1966, Johnny Cade has finally had enough. At the urging of his cousin in Virginia, he finally decides to pack up and leave Tulsa. The gang is devastated to lose Johnny, but everyone knows he's better off... or is he? Dally's concern eventually gets the better of him, and he heads out to Virginia himself to make sure that Johnny is ok. Something strange is going on that he can't quite figure out, but as events of the past slowly begin to reveal themselves, Dally uncovers terrifying secrets that could spell disaster for Johnny and his family. As things start to spiral out of control, Dally struggles to protect Johnny in a world that has suddenly become more dangerous than the streets of Tulsa they left behind.

A note to the readers:

This is the "polished" version of "So You're Leaving". It's essentially the same story, with more chapters, more details and (hopefully) fewer typos. If you're into the hurt/comfort genre, I turned that up a notch, too. If you read the original version, perhaps you might like to read it again and enjoy the new little additions. If you haven't read it, I recommend that you don't sneak any peeks at the original, you'll spoil the ending!

Be prepared, this is a long story, but I hope you'll find it to be an enjoyable journey!
