Turned Round in My Boots
No Customer Reviews
From Washing the Stench and Grime left behind by thousands of chickens and battling enraged rats with nothing but a high-pressure hose to protesting with the homeless and editing an antiwar GI newspaper, Bruce Patterson does his best to readapt to civilian life upon his return to American soil after the Vietnam War. In the trunk of his car are all his worldly possessions, including an army-issue duffle bag stuffed with clothes, a ghetto blaster, a long extension cord, a short stack of LPs, a cardboard box full of paperback books, a shoebox stuffed with scribblings, and one pair of work boots. Out of the poverty and hardship faced by a returning war vet rises the remarkable story of a man who manages to make the best of what comes his way. Patterson proves that whatever challenges one has faced in life, the power of telling a good story is redemptive. Book jacket.
