A Two-Part Novella

Produktbeschreibung

This is a two-part novella based on two separate incidents, one year apart in two colleges. It's based on actual experiences by the author. It happened quite a while ago when the story's hero, Robby Michaels, was attending Abraham College, a small, private junior college in Lincoln, Illinois. What started out as something of a fraternity prank snowballed into something much larger. Eventually, it would tie into something historical, the famous Kent State massacre in Ohio in May, 1970.

As the story progresses, Robby turns out to be indirectly involved in that famous tragedy. The story becomes increasingly suspenseful.

At one point, he finds himself challenged by physical violence from two other characters, but he copes with that in his own devious and clever ways. Ironically, because of this experience, his whole life is changed.

Then begins the second story. Shortly after arriving in Vermont in the fall of 1970, Robby finds himself headed for yet another misadventure. Here he becomes so involved in the drug sub-culture of that era, that it takes a toll on his academic performance. Out of desperation, he begins planning cunning ways to survive. By coincidence, this story offers a pivotal event that occurred on May 4, 1971, the first anniversary of the Kent State massacre. Somehow Robby not only survives these two misadventures, but he thrives. Because of these unnerving experiences, he ultimately concluded that the old adage, "that which does not kill me will only make me stronger" was true.
