A new kid in the neighborhood. Family dysfunction. Murder, suicide and madness.
Imagine if J.D. Salinger, William Golding and Stephen King sat down to write a fast-paced coming-of-age story set in a working-class American neighborhood in the turbulent 1960s Vietnam era. A place where neighborhood boys routinely played baseball in the street, but also a place where, with one new arrival, they discover the sometimes violent realities of life.
You'll find all that, and more, in REICHOLD STREET, by Ronald L. Herron, a 2012 Readers Favorite Gold Medal Winner.
Albert Parker arrives in the neighborhood, bringing with him the emotional scars of parental loss, and all the aggressive attitude a dysfunctional and abusive step-father could create. His struggle to fit in, and the stories of the neighborhood around him as he tries, create a fast-paced and powerful story about friendship, love and loss.
REICHOLD STREET deals with some tough issues: alcoholism, suicide, bullying, criminal activities, family dysfunction and the horrors of fighting in the Vietnam War. Masterfully written, the story comes to life on the pages of REICHOLD STREETÂ and you become part of it all; from the whole gang's coming-of-age to the searing tragedy, yet remarkable redemption of war.
