Opis

Sammy is a true coming-of-age story of a boy learning about life and war in post World War II America. Sammy is born during the Depression and grows up in Wichita during the war. In 1940s Kansas, a boy was free to explore and test his limits. These are stories and vignettes from Sammy's earliest impressions to memories of his dating fiascos and getting his first car at fourteen. It's after the war, when the GIs swamp the school system that Sammy really begins to learn about life. Consistently intrigued with survival, the teenager and his best friend drive up to the Canadian wilderness to live off the land and by their wits. It is to be the adventure of a lifetime. Sammy is a book for our times with surprising parallels to today's economic climate. It is a tale that is both uniquely his and universally every American boy's.
