All Of My Heroes Are Ghosts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514257234)

Tom Curren set a goal to move up and away from his working class roots and into the white collar world whose lifestyle he had for so long admired. Struggling against the odds he found a crack and worked his way in, the charmed life that he had sought seeming to be finally laid bare before him. Opening this door shut another though, the good friends and reliable relationships of his past inadvertently pushed aside. When his new life is shaken up and his path and goals made more murky, which way will he turn? What option would bring him the satisfaction and true sense of self that he has been craving? Is what he gave up better than what he had been taught to idealize? Is going backward giving up? The story line is infused with antique cars and motorcycles and the culture that surrounds enthusiasts. The narrative captures vividly the joy and frustration inherent in owning and operating antiquated vehicles. The novel has been praised for its technical accuracy and its unique blending of technical descriptions with literary storytelling.
