Dress Jeans, Disco and Dating: A Memoir from the Confusing 70s (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781644625354)

Nick Carnavale is a wide-eyed, innocent young man growing up in Buffalo's working-class Italian West Side. As he is about to start high school, the height of the disco era's mayhem overtakes him. The quick-changing morals and attitudes of the time go against all his innermost thoughts and feelings.

As he grows he begins to realize that some things are more important than others. His lighthearted observations and relationships with family and friends lead him to find meaning in the small things that life has to offer that are far beyond his years. And his fascination with a free-spirited girl pulls him through both the good and bad times we call adolescence.

Dress Jeans, Disco, and Dating is a fond remembrance of the seventies that will make the reader remember pet rocks, eight-track players, "Dancing Queens", and first love.
