Genre (type of story you'd put it in): Coming-of-age drama.
Describe the Character Physically in Your Own Words: He's a bit of a contradiction--he's quite tall, standing at almost six feet (even though he's only fifteen), but is awkwardly lanky, scooping his shoulders forward and shuffling his feet when he walks. His nose is large and crooked, but he supposes it's a good thing, as it makes sure his glasses don't slide off. His chestnut brown hair is the longest it's ever been in his lifetime--he's finally growing it out from the close-cropped cut his mother's forced on him since he was born.
One Line Description of Character: He has many questions about the world, but has no idea how to ask them.
Tell Us About the Character: Josiah is the fourth of eight children, born to an ultra-conservative Christian family in the Midwest. He's been kept in line by his older siblings, but he's starting to question the ways of his family as well as the ways of the world. He's finally convinced his mother to let him attend public school (she'd been homeschooling him since kindergarten), and it's there that he realizes the world is most definitely not black and white.
Why is he praying? He's looking for guidance on how to forge his own path, as well as asking for strength to ask the girl in his Biology class to the spring formal.
