About this item
by Ed Nelson (Author)
With wit and humor and no teenage angst, we follow a young man's coming of age in the late 1950s. This alternate history starts in the summer before Rick's freshman year and follows him through his high school life, where he learns golf is his game. He finds fame and fortune as an inventor and wealth in Hollywood as he searches for a girlfriend. Wealth and fame prove far easier than girls.
In the 1st book of the saga bank robbery, bull riding in the rodeo, a western movie, and rustlers occur as young Rick is on a cross-country trip, hitchhiking from a small Ohio town to California. The songs, movies, and books of the 1950s and 60s are nostalgic to some. The action and adventure thrill others. All readers enjoy the realistic flow of life, give or take a lie or two.
