Pebbles In The Sea

Pebbles in the Sea, Phillip Compton's first book, at times reads stranger than fiction although it is entirely factual. An absorbing narrative, it is a highly readable account of "life in the rough" and its impact on the author's view of life. Developing an unforgettable cast of characters from his flamboyant father and working through the likes of the colorful Lou, Drunken Ed, the alcoholic Johnny and the larger-than-life Drunken Joe, the author shares his discovery of what binds this cast of players with his concept of living beyond the self.
