An unusual coming-of-age story that shimmers with humanity and surprise.
James Montez kicked off the 1970s feeling pretty lucky: He made some fast friends in college, enjoyed his classes, and pulled a high lottery number for the Vietnam draft. Like many of his generation, he dabbled in some fly-by experiences with women and drugs but missed out on love.A dazzling woman named Maria changes all that. In an instant, he's head over heels in love. James' world suddenly feels open and golden. He has youth, a future, and a lifelong partner who is the only woman for him.But then, a horrendous tragedy shatters everything. Adrift and lost, James struggles to gather the shards of his existence and reassemble them into some kind of life. Though forced to grow up in ways he could never have imagined,James has learned little from those life lessons. He ends up in prison for a white-collar crime surrounded by what he thinks of as actual criminals. Most days, it feels like he's headed for a dead end and fast.And yet, sometimes, the universe throws you a lifeline when you least expect it...
