THE CLASS OF 1962
This story is about a teenaged brother and sister who are forced to learn the hard lessons of life long before they are prepared for them. Their need to learn those lessons quickly is the result of a crisis through which the people who are supposed to care for them—their mother and father—become the kids' biggest challenges to survival.
The lessons they must learn include how to deal with their relationship, which grows increasingly different from the norm. They also must learn who they can trust and whose motives are deceitful. Adding to their confusion is their friendship with the daughter of a Negro family in their lily-white northern California community. She becomes integral to the kids' survival.
Based on period realities in the story's location, THE CLASS OF 1962 is populated by people you get to know quickly, and plot twists you may see coming, but still leave you wondering how you might survive under the same circumstances. |
