Me & the '53 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530270262)

During the summer of 1965, the new boy in town has his life changed when a stranger rides into town on a chopped Harley-Davidson panhead motorcycle. Scorchy Black has left his troubled past behind in southern California. He arrives in a small Montana town with nothing but what he was able to cram into his saddlebags...and a drive to succeed as the town's new blacksmith. The boy and the biker meet head-on in the back lot of the shop and the summer's adventures begin! Me & the '53 takes you through changes in a young boy's life that develop character, as well as flashbacks that describe how fate intervened to bring Scorchy to town. The story puts the Kid on the fast track to being the trusted student-recipient of Scorchy's strong code of loyalty and morality and of his wisdom, gained from years of life experiences. The Kid gets an education he could not buy at any cost, anywhere...even an Ivy League family 'pedigree' could not 'learn' the boy on life the way he learned from a true old highway historian! This 3rd Edition includes photos along with the glossary to enhance the readers understanding of the world and time of Scorchy and Kid. Reader Questions will enhance book club or classroom discussion.
