American Boomer: Coming of Age in the 50s
William May, author
AMERICAN BOOMER captures the humorous side of coming of age during the late 1950’s. Enjoy many laughs as a young man tries to stay one step ahead of his parents, teachers, and the law, only to end up two or three steps behind. When the mysteries of religion, sex, and the world around him are rationalized within an immature mind and a wild imagination. American Boomer is a fun read meant to take you back to when the world moved at a much slower pace, cause you to smile often, and on occasion, make you laugh out loud.
