Now, reunited with his childhood best friends, David relives his experiences growing up in Medford, and begins to realize how his past may effect his future. Ryerson transports you back to a simpler time. Remember the music, the long days of summer, being with friends, and falling in love for the first time. Its about the mistakes we make, the people we love, and the lessons we learn from the world around us. David, Bryan, and Michael are three best friends. They grew up side by side in the sixties watching the turbulent world of protesting, political assassinations, the hippie movement...all from the safety of their small town in Ontario, Canada. You will experience all these moments in history through the eyes of a young man, and his best friends. But most of all you will experience growing up in all the simplest ways. A masterpiece of 'coming of age' literature. Simple, profound and lovely. Growing up has never been so moving.
