Plot

Growing Up: Retro Nostalgia & Humor of the 1940's & 1950's is a hilarious novel that chronicles the universal journey of growing up during the Golden Age of Innocence in a series of short, easy-reading chapters based on the embellished life of the author's alter ego, "Chip." Whether you grew up during the 1940's, 1950's, early '60's or later and are from the Silent Generation, a Baby Boomer, Gen X'er, Gen Y'er or a young adult or teenager who wants to experience a wonderful, simpler time, this is an "every person" book which relates to the benchmark moments of our lives - our struggle for identity, first dates, friends, sweethearts, siblings, parents, learning responsibilities, cars, motorcycles, music, radio and television. From childhood and grammar school during World War II and the '40's, high school and college in the '50's, and a peacetime army in the early '60's, it's your opportunity to take a step back in time to rekindle your own nostalgic memories as you find yourself "Growing Up" again.
