Teenage boy starts a new life in 1950's Palm Springs.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Harold Albestein is a L.A. teenager in the 1950's. He is perfectly content entertaining himself by going down to Sunset Blvd and going to movies, his favorite record store for jazz and blues music. When his parents are suddenly killed in an auto accident, Harold finds himself living in Palm Springs with his aunt in the middle of the blazing hot summer. His Aunt Enid finds having her newphew to be disruptive to her own comfortable life of waiting around for her lover to come and visit. Matters become more complicated when Enid's alcoholic father turns up on her doorstep, in the last stages of kidney disease. All of these events cause these lonely people to feel like more of a family.
