A four year old boy wakes from a coma. Believing that the people rushing toward his bedside are not his real family, he begins a search for his true parents. Don't expect the usual coming of age story. IN REAL LIFE is a first person chronicle, of a thirty year journey about embracing life as the ultimate prescription against detachment and anti-social behavior. Follow Jimmy Verdune's stubborn quest for quirky notions and ideals. Along the way, experience day-by-day just how elusive this unusal character's quest proves to be. The story is uniquely set against America's cultural history from the Second World War to the early 1980's. IN REAL LIFE may be one of the great adventure stories about a life lived while wearing your heart on your sleeve.
