Summer Vacation

About the Book

Summer Vacation is about four friends who considered themselves misfits. They feel unloved, unwanted, and alone in the world. They support each other and stand together in fights, arguments, and punishments. They are graduating from high school and want out before college. The girls plan a trip for the summer to experience romance, excitement, and whatever comes. They pull together money for years to plan this escapade. They buy, steal, borrow, and beg for food, music, and anything they might need on their journey. They do find jobs in Florida, and they find excitement and lots of boys and liquor. They also find sorrow and pain. One finds loves and acceptance. One finds herself. One moves away without telling the others. One is lost forever. This book is not intended for young readers.

About the Author

I’ve been married for 42 years. We have 2 daughters and 2 cats. The oldest daughter lives near us in Tulsa, OK with 2 dogs. The younger one lives in California with her wife and 2 cats. We feel very blessed with our lives, our family and our friends. A few years ago I began writing books and fell in love with sharing my ideas. My daughters encouraged me along with a few friends who liked my writing. I decided to take a chance by publishing them. So here it goes with my first book. I already have two others written and a book of poetry. I’m a little out of the box for my age. I like tattoos and piercings. I love loud music, especially 70’s music. I enjoy being around children and love life in general.
