Found on 16th Avenue
A silent teen with a violent past . . . a minister struggling to shepherd his church through the worst of times . . . and the healing resilience of a great generation almost lost in history.

Joe Vesely, an abused and orphaned teen raised in the underworld of Prohibition, is thrown into a strange new life in a unique Czech immigrant community . . . and finds that the success he so desperately seeks will only come from the One he is running from.

“I’m staggered! It is truly, without exaggeration, one of the best stories I have ever read. I feel connected to every one of the characters. Have I mentioned how much I love John Mark? This story is a huge blessing and a wonderful pick-me-up when I’m discouraged”
                                            - Kelsie McKernie,
                                              Georgia

“The plot flows so seamlessly and flawlessly that I was mesmerized. The historical perspective is intensely personal, vibrantly woven into the lives and words of the characters”

                                            - Julia Hanawalt,
                                              Writing and Research Instructor,
                                              Jackson Community College, Michigan

“. . . whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable
—if anything is excellent
or praiseworthy
—think about such things.”

Philippians 4:8
