The right kind of fool, paperback/sarah loudin thomas

Thirteen-year-old Loyal Raines is supposed to stay close to home on a hot summer day in 1934.

When he slips away for a quick swim in the river and finds a dead body, he wishes hed obeyed his mother.

The ripples caused by his discovery will impact the town of Beverly, West Virginia, in ways no one could have imagined.

The first person those ripples disturb is Loyals absentee father.

When Creed Raines realized his infant son was deaf, he headed for the hills, returning only to help meet his familys basic needs.

But when Loyal, now a young teen, stumbles upon a murder its his father he runs to tell--shaping the words with his hands.

As Creed is pulled into the investigation he discovers that what sets his son apart isnt his inability to hear but rather his courage.

Longing to reclaim the life he abandoned, Creed will have to do more than help solve a murder if he wants to win his familys hearts again.
