Publisher's Synopsis
It was 1970 in Rockingham, North Carolina. The conflict in Viet Nam still raged, Alice Cooper sang about school being out for the summer, muscle cars were the rage, race relations continued to be strained, and high school students drove school buses.
The city supported two high schools. There were no cell phones, no computers, and no GPS. The "dragging main" loop connected Tom and Sarah's Drive-In to the bowling alley on Friday and Saturday nights, and twenty-five cents contributed by four passengers purchased enough gasoline for a car to run that loop all evening. It was a time when everyone knew your mama and daddy. The stories you read are real. To respect anonymity, some names are changed, and some characters are placed in settings where they were absent.
