"An intelligent novel with an important message for teens and adults..." - ForeWord Clarion5-Star Review
..".reminiscent of Dead Poets Society...recreates the intricate, intense boyhood bonds..." - Kirkus Reviews
"Cumbo writes a tender coming-of-age novel...evocative of A Separate Peace." - Publisher's Weekly
Twenty-one-year-old Matt Derby is a typical college senior: bright, open-minded, and full of potential. But he's also stuck in neutral, struggling with girl problems, a lack of direction, and decisions made difficult by too many choices.
When a television news report tells the story of a heroic firefighter in a small Wyoming town, Matt recognizes someone he hasn't seen in nearly six years: his boarding school roommate, Trey Daniels, who disappeared after being expelled in tenth grade.
Matt boards a flight headed west, aiming not only to visit his injured friend, but also to put off his own return to school and the big decisions that await him there. Once at cruising altitude, his flashbacks recall the formative days at the Ashford River School, and the memorable events that cemented their boyhood friendship before Trey's departure.
Upon landing, Matt soon discovers the seemingly impulsive journey is nothing less than a pilgrimage that revisits his past, illuminates the present, and defines his future.
The debut novel by Paul Cumbo chronicles the rugged path from adolescence to adulthood, the challenging decisions that determine our futures, and the powerful bonds of friendship and family that shape our lives along the way.
A sympathetic but honest look at "Generation Y," Boarding Pass captures the simultaneous idealism, confusion, innocence, and potential of two American millennials at a defining moment of self-discovery. The novel is as much a coming-of-age tale as an introspective, critical look at the Baby-Boom version of the American Dream.

They lived with professors and waited on former presidents. They were masons and nurses, school teachers and field hands, 246 people owned by a man who struggled with the institution of slavery. Yet, almost no one knows their names. When a white woman begins to study the history of the plantations these people built, the plantations where she was raised, she discovers that the silence around these people's lives speaks of a silence in her country's history . . . and in her own life. A creative nonfiction, history book about American slavery and its legacy in the United States.
"In the late afternoons sometimes, I walk up and talk to the folks who are buried in the undulating earth, most of their graves are unmarked by any stone except, perhaps, two pieces of slate stuck vertically in the ground, one at head and one at foot, and long worn down or washed clean of names. But three stones bear words, gifts cut into rock - Ben Creasy, the carpenter, Jesse Nicholas, the stonemason, and Primus, the foreman. Ben and Jesse's stones are clear - with their names and dates marked deeply in the sandstone. I can find them in the records - know for sure who they are. Primus's stone is harder to know. The tradition here on the farm is that Primus the foreman at Upper Bremo is buried here, but I cannot be sure. The stone reads "Prams - 12," and I'm not sure that it refers to this Primus. It may be his grandson, also Primus, or some person I don't know yet. It's the 12 that throws me - the Primus I know lived to be an old man, long past 1812 - his death date is noted - 1849. That date seems right according to the records, but then, the records are so sparse; it's hard to know. I don't know how to solidify - to give storied flesh - to these rough marks hewn deep into stone."

Mike Whittaker's little brother has drowned, dragging the high school senior into an abyss of grief. But when he learns what really happened at the Lawson town pool, despair turns to rage, and he brings a gun to school. Mike's near-deadly assault on a classmate has him headed for juvenile detention, and his only leverage is the truth about his brother's death -- a dark secret that threatens the most powerful family in Lawson. A legal gambit sends Mike to a wilderness therapy program instead of prison, where he and his unlikely companions face their demons at an isolated mountain lodge under the guidance of tough-love mentors. Just two weeks in, however, a suspicious accident leaves the boys stranded and unsupervised. They soon discover a menace within their group, and what began as a struggle for redemption becomes a fight for survival deep in the Montana wilderness.
