This book, An American Summer by Frank Deford is a classic. If it were a work of art, it would be a masterpiece done by Norman Rockwell. I loved every single chapter of this book. The story is about Christy, a 14 year old on the precipice between boy and man. Christy is a good guy and even though he lives with a loving family in the affluent suburbs of Baltimore in 1955, he faces tough decisions. The "good ole days" weren't all that easy. The book is about a young man growing up but also about acceptance, honor, and love.Friday, May 31, 2013
