Full Service

It is 1965, and high school sophomore Paul gets his first summer job away from the farm and his family's tight knit religious community. Pumping gas in nearby Hawk Bend, Minnesota, Paul learns lessons about fast cars (and fast women) and himself. Full of colorful characters who share some important truths with Paul, it is an interesting small town coming-of-age story by writer Will Weaver. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2006.
