Publisher's Synopsis
Dexter Green is a middle-class young man born in rural Minnesota who aspires to be part of the "old money" elite of the American Midwest. His father owns the second most profitable grocery store in the town. Dexter works part-time as a teenage caddy at a golf club in Black Bear Lake, Minnesota, where he meets the eleven-year-old Judy Jones. He quits rather than be Judy's caddy as he can't abide acting as one of her hired servants.
