Up. Down & Sideways

by Robert H. Patton

Author of The Pattons: A Personal History of an American Family, Robert Patton is the extremely talented grandson of the general. Yes, THAT general. Up, Down & Sideways, his second book, is the story of the American Dream gone whacko. Philip Halsey can't stop making money. He has two girlfriends and everything else that the American Dream dictates, yet his greatest desire is to fail at something (if you've got curly hair, you want straight hair, etc.). Philip's saving grace is that he's slightly more charming than he is disgusting and the humor of his plight is but one of this novel's delights.
