THE MOON, AQUARIUS, JFK, AND ME

A young child comes of age in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio during the decade of the Sixties. Written in a narrative style, the boy tells of his life with parents, a sister, and grandparents while encountering the tumultuous events of the decade. If you remember the Beatles, the British invasion, the assassination of John Kennedy, the Civil Rights movement, the Viet Nam war and resulting protests, Woodstock, hippies, manned space flight, the landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, and the general tumult and tempest of 1968, you'll enjoy reading this work.
The narrator deals with personal loss, looks whimsically at his family, and grapples with growing up- first loves, first sexual encounters, and the tragedies and triumphs of the Sixties. Humor, pathos, and wonder all come to the forefront as this book grabs the essence of one of the most eventful decades in United States history.
