Twelve year old Will Freeman moves with his family from urban New Jersey to tiny rural Churchtown, Pennsylvania where his father will work on environmental ground water clean-up. Will feels caught in a cultural and religious time warp, but his real journey begins when his father disappears under suspicious circumstances and is presumed dead. His sister goes missing and if that isn't enough, Will is bullied as 'the outsider.' Throughout the book, Free Will, Will experiences spiritual turmoil and growth as his inner strength and faith is continually tested.
