Jerked from family farm to Cold War atomic bases by his Father’s naval career, young Mark grows up in the 1950s, indoctrinated with Apocalyptic fundamentalism and right-wing politics. After meeting people who don’t conform to that world view, because of race or religion, Mark drifts away from the fold. The cultural detonations of the 1960’s are just beginning.

A review from Marguerite Manry-herbine:

From the first chapter the reader will be entertained and intrigued by this glimpse of growing up in southern rural America in the 1950’s.
This was a time when farmers relied on hard work, the Bible, and their fundamentalist beliefs. But by observation and keeping an open mind the author takes you on a journey of self discovery that is both poignant and enjoyable. I did not want the story to end but loved the journey...A Must Read.
