"A coming of age story set in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It's an era during which much of the Baby Boomer generation and their parents feel like the country is almost literally being burned to the ground, Ron "Du" Duchtman and his fellow "Barely Boomers" are just trying to make their ways through the confusing period known as junior high school. It will be decades before even pre-teens will enjoy the benefits of having almost limitless information and instant communication at the press of a couple of buttons on their smartphones, so Du and his friends just have to figure it all out through trial, error, and guidance from parents and teachers who occasionally fall just short of perfection. But Du has one thing going for him. This isn't his first time through the process. He has done it all before. It didn't go all that well the first time, but he's getting a do-over--he just doesn't know that."--Amazon
