Rogues Island Memoir
(Free River Press, Decatur, Iowa, Publisher)
​​
A true coming-of-age story set in the northern Rhode Island village of Limerock starting in the mid-1960s. Seemingly safe from the social unrest, urban chaos, and unpopular war traumatizing the rest of America, the death of the authors' fourteen-year-old sister in September 1968 leaves his family in shambles. Meanwhile, the angry forces of a world gone mad draw closer and closer to home. (Please note: there was a single printing of this book in 2001. It is now available on-line in used condition only, with a 2nd edition planned for publishing in the future.)
