This is a story of a teenager becoming a man over several years during increasingly bad economic times in the city of Cincinnati. With the living conditions in the city gradually growing worse as deteriorating conditions start slowly and gradually gets worse as the young man grows up. He does what he can to protect his family and the girl he loves. As always in my stories, there is no foul language or explicit sex though there is some violence. Just to try something different I wrote this entire story in third person as an experiment. It is not likely something I will do again but I hope you find it enjoyable.
Another good book by this author. A quick, easy and enjoyable evening's read that has lots of useful preparation information for all. I always look forward to his new stories and even reread his stories when they come out in the anthologies.
