Today we are fortunate to be graced with the presence of one of our Top TEN National Award winning authors, Christopher Paslay, who wrote WHITE FLIGHT, a story in which the protagonists come face to face with the explosive situations that destroy the lives of a family, ends the life of a youth, and dissolves the friendship of two teens due to snitching.
