There's real soul to this coming-of-age story... a thoughtful exploration of childhood hope and expectations in the 60s.
- Book Viral Review

From award-winning author Charles Presti comes an enthralling childhood tale. It's 1968 in Whisper Haven, and 8-year-old Carl Pozzi's world is about to change.

For eight-year-old Carl Pozzi, 1968 begins like any other year-playing kickball with friends and enjoying the comforting aroma of Mom's pasta dinners in their predominantly white suburban Whisper Haven home. But when Carl's teacher introduces lessons about racial prejudice and injustice, his worldview cracks wide open.

How far can innocence stretch before it snaps?

As Carl flips through the pages of his 3-ring binder, each lesson serves as a gateway to a journey of self-discovery and understanding. It's an expedition that not only changes him but reshapes his whole concept of family and justice-especially as he watches his father put on a police uniform during one of the most fraught periods in American history.

"Covered in Flour" is not just a heartfelt stroll down memory lane. It's a captivating coming-of-age saga that digs deep beneath the surface of suburban tranquility. It beckons you to reconsider long-held family values and confront the societal norms you've taken for granted.

Written with genuine love, humor, and a tinge of sorrow, this story blends the nostalgia of tradition with the inevitability of change, offering a stirring mix that leaves you pondering long after the last page is turned. Winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2024 -First Novel under 50,000 words - this book isn't just a delightful read; it's a catalyst for introspection, freshly baked and served for your soul.
