It's 1965 in Wisconsin. "Full Service" is a coming of age book about Paul Sutton, a high school sophmore who has grown up on a Wisconsin farm. Paul is encouraged by his mother to get a job in town and winds up working at a full-service gas station. While in town Paul 'meets the public' and events and situations tha transpire there test his faith and his beliefs.

Basically Paul is a good kid who finds himself faced with making choices his faith or his parents might not condone. While the story is not action-packed, the story is well-written from the teen's point of view.
