Genre:
Coming of Age, Historical Fiction
Dave
Knight is a wayward child growing up in a military family during the
1950s. His older sister wants to kill him but settles for regularly
beating him up. Other siblings join in the mayhem while their
alcoholic father contributes to the chaos with his unique approach to
parenting. As the Knight family moves from one army base to the next,
Dave develops a give-a-damn attitude, which often leads to trouble.
In
high school, he joins other delinquents in a series of escapades,
some dangerous, others funny, and a few that would be worthy of jail
time should they ever be caught.
After
barely graduating, Dave is drafted into the army and sent to guard a
nuclear weapons depot in Korea. There, he gets into trouble with his
sergeant and tries to avoid dishonorable discharge.
Bill
is a retired business executive now living in South Carolina with his
wife, Bettina. She teaches high school German while Bill coaches
soccer at a small college. Their three sons, Alex, Robert, and
Gordon, have all graduated from college and moved away to pursue
careers.
For
recreation, Bettina and Bill enjoy hiking and camping out. Usually,
they take their dog, Scout, along. When the weather permits, Bill
commutes to work on his motorcycle.
