Cruce

CRUCE is set in Spokane, Washington during the summer of 1967. Bill Roberts, just graduated from Gonzaga University, has committed to enter the Jesuit Religious Order at the end of August, and returns to his summer job at the Kaiser Aluminum smelter to pay off his college loan.

Soon, he meets alluring Barb Scott, who introduces him to pleasures he’s never imagined; now he must wrestle with important life decisions. Should he keep his commitment to enter the Jesuit Novitiate or continue his relationship with Barb? Should he honor his mom’s dream that one of her five sons will become a priest? Should he keep his job at Kaiser or heed the the advice of the “lifers” at Kaiser to use his college education rather than get trapped at the plant like they did? Which choice will lead to lasting happiness?
