What Would Jake Do? Ruth Truman

An iPad and phone call turn the lives of Drs. Ben and Jennie Adkins and their two sons, Jake and Larry. Jake is in Afghanistan; Larry is a drop-out from Callegua University, his parents' alma mater. Big choices have to be made. Internet-talented Larry takes off for California and coaxes his grandmother Joan to join him. This leads to a gang surrounded mission in Santa Ana, CA and an intriguing girl. Meanwhile his parents make a life change that brings them back to Callegua U. In a campus speech, Dr. Ben presents his dream for Higher Education in the 2020's, reaching around the world. A reluctant faculty buys in, money flows from foundations, other colleges join, and Larry helps make the dream a reality.
