With his irreverent memoir, S.W. Capps paints the definitive landscape of 20th Century suburban America. And his message-that our similarities far outweigh our differences-couldn't come at a better time, resonating not only with Baby Boomers but with readers of every generation.
There are stories of brawling brothers and Groundhog Day vacations, dance class debacles and ruined Christmases, all wrapped in a package of polyester and told in a style that's one part Wonder Years, one part Dazed and Confused.
The result is an often hilarious, sometimes poignant voyage to our very beginnings, one filled with mistakes, misdeeds, and misdemeanors, a not-so-subtle reminder that we're all No One Special.
And that's exactly what unites us.
