"Glory Days in the Rearview" is a well-crafted treatise of an unfulfilled man who wonders how he ended up in a dead-end life after it all seemed so easy and inevitable back in high school. The death of a parent launches a reverie of remembering and action that reveals our glory days are the here and now. A rewarding, thoughtful read. -James McCommons, author of "Waiting on a Train: The Embattled Future of Passenger Rail Service"Join Mark Nepper at Blue House Books on Saturday, March 7th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mark will be chatting with readers and signing books, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this Wisconsin author!
About GLORY DAYS IN THE REARVIEW:
We all remember that person from high school. You know, the person who seemed to glide through every aspect of those years—academics, athletics, clubs, social interactions. They were popular and successful but, more significantly, likable. Everyone expected they would do the same after high school.
Life, though, has a way of interfering with our plans and expectations. One disappointment can lead to a string of disappointments and failures until every day becomes a struggle. Those circumstances take Robb Cesario from the heights of high school glory to midlife, where a quagmire of quicksand threatens to pull him under.
Desperately struggling to maintain family connections amid tragedy and sadness, Robb returns to his roots. He tries to find his way back to the life he and everyone else imagined for him.
