Alan
Alan Sydney Symonds Eldridge
Alan lives one day at a time. He has never had the luxury of planning for tomorrow, and he has no experience of community or close relationships.
As a young man, he has little practice at seeing the consequences of his actions or thinking through what might happen next. When he is pressed into tasks that affect others, he is forced into choices he finds harrowing.
Alan’s challenge
Can Alan grow up fast enough to handle his responsibilities to his mates and the situations they find themselves in?
For today’s reader
Young people today face more choices than ever, and that can be overwhelming.
