The Good I Stand On David Tucholski iUniverse ISBN: 0-595-36824-7 Fiction, Life Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Ten year old Ben Grogan was on the top of the world. He was in the fifth grade and next year he and his friends would be the oldest at the school. They’d run the school and get all sorts of women. Ben also had the utmost of his little brother, Christopher, whom Ben loved to tell stories. For Ben life was good, that is until an accident, a death, and a cover up would change Ben’s perceptions forever.

The Good I Stand On kind of resembles a more focused and personalized version of Stand By Me. In this case, the boys actually play a role in the death and the novel focuses on the reactions of one of the boys, Ben. In this way, the author spends a great deal of time and attention on the cover up of the death and how that act weighs on the mind of the main character.
