They're growing up, but they aren't grownups. They have no idea what it's actually like. In the real world. As an old man, Sam reflects on his formative years as a boy in the midwest during the 1950s. Feelings of love, loss and loyalties mingle with the solid memories of his brother, neighbours, best friends and the love of his life. When May stumbles into the lives of Sam and his friends one sunny afternoon, she changes the course of all their futures. Whilst childhood games and nights by the river bond the group, profound tragedy and the ever-looming threat of growing up seek to pull them apart. Join Sam, May, Hal, Finn, Joe, Kevin and Donald as they seek to find themselves and fight inner demons against a backdrop of rapid social change in America.
The book includes descriptions of violence of a sexual, homophobic and racist nature. There are also mentions of pregnancy loss, abuse, drugs and suicide. Antagonistic characters also use LGBTQIA+ slurs and racial slurs are implied.
