The Hilltop: A College Tale (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781949483031)

Sean McKay is attending a small college in Iowa. It's called Hilltop because it's built on a series of hills, making walking a difficult task in the winter.

The year is 1968, and within a year, the school will have all its customs and values turned upside down. The Vietnam War is pulling students apart. But all Sean wants to do is find some real-life friends and a girlfriend.

Remember those fun college days? Sean experiences some wild times. Come along and discover what college was like without modern technology and social media. Come learn about "life."
