“The Sixties” – a brief phrase that conjures up all kinds of amazing images...unless, of course, you weren’t there!
It was a time when “free love” was anything but, and there was a heavy price to be paid for messing with “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.” Find out what coming-of-age was really like in that magical era, in the outrageously funny novel by Joe Perrone Jr., ESCAPING INNOCENCE (A Story of Awakening).
Meet David Justin, an Italian-Catholic, height-challenged youth, desperately trying to escape the bonds of sexual repression and adolescent innocence that dare to hold him captive in – yes, you guessed it – “The Sixties.” Experience them for the very first time, or relive them again and again, but either way, for heaven’s sake, don’t miss ESCAPING INNOCENCE (A Story of Awakening), by Joe Perrone Jr.
