An American Summer

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.
