An unforgettable novel about friendship and growing up in the USA during the decade of sex, drugs and rock and roll. The novel begins in 1965. Henry is born a mathematical prodigy that chooses to hide his gift to be accepted and liked. He has an unshakable bond with his best friends Albert and Slim.

It addresses complex emotions resulting from racism, corruption, drugs and sexual predators. The boys struggle with their own consciences to discern what is right and wrong in the tumultuous sixties and seventies. They make good and bad decisions that impact themselves and everyone else in the community. They grow up with the ramifications and consequences of the actions of the society surrounding them.
