A modern-day Stand by Me, this coming of age story is set in 1969 against the backdrop of the moon landing and Woodstock. Grant is finishing his freshman year of high school in small town, Connecticut. While summer vacation looms large and enticing, his best friend, David, has other plans and drags the boys into all sorts of predicaments. David is determined to date Lisa, whose parents will only allow her to double date in public. He talks Grant into chaperoning, along with Lisa's best friend, Rebecca, who is one of the most popular girls in school. He volunteers Grant for a tournament, they get summer jobs so they can afford dating, and do their best to avoid a class bully intent on revenge. As the summer unfolds and David starts running the bases, Grant is stalked by a farmer's daughter on his paper route, falls for Rebecca (who has secrets of her own), and develops a crush on a customer whose marriage is falling apart. This charming story of a simpler time is about friendship, loyalty, falling in love, and learning that things don't always turn out the way you want. In other words: growing up. If you didn't have a friend like David in your formative years, you were probably him... You can contact the author at: www.Tim-Ranney.com
