A new and talented storyteller, John Morrison, weaves a wonderful story into a feel-good novel with an old-fashioned beginning, middle and end. The setting is Independence, Missouri, in 1977, when disco was king and Jimmy Carter moved in to the White House. During the next several decades, the story flows through the vehicle of the Star truck and Johns life experiences with the constant vein of the paper route. The effects of changing technology and social mores are shown in an interesting and sometimes poignant way. Recollect your own experiences of the first Stock Market crash, V-J Day, the Kennedy assassination, Viet-Nam, Kansas City flood of 1977, and even the 1985 Cardinals-Royals World Series as they impact Independence. The stories are infused with the good humor that is Morrisons own personality. Rekindle those feelings of puppy love, first love, true love, rebound love, and grow old together love. You will laugh and cry as you experience life and love in the last one hundred years through his eyes. In his Star Truck, John Morrison not only takes us down memory lane, but gives the reader a refreshing look at the person we all know as the paper boy. If you have ever worked delivering newspapers or know someone who has, you will identify with this account. A truly heartwarming tale that follows the lives of the small town, middle class family, and those who are dear to them, through the changes and "progress" of the 20th Century.
