The EncounterHow to Come Home
A companion volume written for young people and the families who love them. When the lights come on behind you, the goal is simple: come home.
About the book
For the moment the lights come on
William B. Jones writes as someone who has stood on both sides of the car window, as an officer and as a father of five who worries every time his children get behind the wheel.
The Encounter: How to Come Home explains what is happening on both sides of that window, passes on the wisdom his grandfather gave him, and walks readers through the encounters families actually face: the traffic stop on a road trip, the knock at the door at night, officers arriving at a cookout or a block party.
It is written so a teenager and a parent can read it, or listen to it, together.
The Encounter is the companion to Licensed to Kill, Not Prepared to Serve.
