Imagine J.D. Salinger, William Golding and Stephen King sitting down to write a fast-paced coming-of-age story set in a working-class American neighborhood in the turbulent 1960s Vietnam era. A place where neighborhood boys routinely played baseball in the street, but also a place where, with one new arrival, they discover the sometimes violent realities of life.
Albert Parker arrives, bringing with him the emotional scars of parental loss, and all the aggressive attitude a dysfunctional and abusive step-father can create. His struggle to fit in, and the stories of the neighborhood around him as he tries, create a fast-paced and powerful story about friendship, love and loss.
A 2012 Readers Favorite Gold Medal Winner, "Reichold Street" deals with some tough issues: alcoholism, suicide, bullying, criminal activities, family dysfunction and the horrors of fighting in the Vietnam War.
Masterfully written, "Reichold Street" comes to life on the pages and you become part of it all; from the whole gang's coming-of-age to the searing tragedy, yet remarkable redemption of war. Contains some adult language.
