Product Overview
by George S. Coombs Jim has come of age in a confusing timeconfusing for the world, confusing for the country, and confusing for him personally. Having just returned from the Vietnam War, a war he did not believe in fighting but did so out of patriotism for his country, he finds himself employed by a maritime agency in Houston, TX, supporting a semi-frigid wife and two sons, one of whom, it seems, has a cruel streak.
