It’s the heat of the summer, the year is 1967. Paul Morrissey, a teenage boy growing up in suburban New Jersey, is struck by a sudden tragedy that forever alters the direction of his life. From that day on, he’s forced to navigate a series of ordeals, temptations, and adversities that test his mettle and threaten his survival.

A romantic seduction, a violent confrontation, an escape into the wilderness and finally, a new love form the gauntlet through which Paul must pass to become his greater self—the person he’s destined to be.

Buddies, Punks, and Lovers is a story of love, mischief, and adventure that brings the reader back to a time when life was rugged and raw. And the stakes were always high.
