A fearless and sensitive coming-of-age story.

I loved it.

--Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky and The Last Green Valley .

Bestselling author Robert Dugoni returns with an emotionally arresting follow-up to The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell .

In 1979, Vincent Bianco has just graduated high school.

His only desire: collect a little beer money and enjoy his final summer before college.

So he lands a job as a laborer on a construction crew.

Working alongside two Vietnam vets, one suffering from PTSD, Vincent gets the education of a lifetime.

Now forty years later, with his own son leaving for college, the lessons of that summer--Vincent's last taste of innocence and first taste of real life--dramatically unfold in a novel about breaking away, shaping a life, and seeking one's own destiny.
