Alonzo’s Sophomoric endeavor MILL CREEK is here!
In a quiet upstate town in New York where tradition runs deep and silence runs deeper, one mistake can ignite everything. When Edgar Allen is sent to live with his grandparents in Mill Creek, he’s already carrying a past marked by anger and fractured family ties. The last thing he expects is Clara Bennett: a steady, soft-spoken, and raised in the tight-knit Mennonite community on the edge of town. She is everything he is not: grounded, faithful, and determined to see the good in a world that has often failed her.
As their unlikely friendship deepens into something neither of them can ignore, old resentments begin to surface. Whispers ripple through the town. When jealousy turns reckless and a single night spirals into violence, Mill Creek is forced to confront the cost of pride, prejudice, and the stories people tell to protect themselves.
Mill Creek is a powerful coming-of-age story about love, redemption, community conflict, and the courage to stand for truth when it costs you everything.
