They were part of the Baby Boomer vanguard, three boys are thrown together in a 1950s Southern California subdivision looking like most other kids of that era.

This book will take you back to the halcyon days of orange grove forts, fast bikes, white T-shirts and blue jeans with turned up cuffs, and the early sounds of rock-n-roll blasting through the windows of the enlightened. It will bring you face to face with characters you might have known, and some you wish you’d never met.
