What was the boomer generations reaction to mandatory military training, to girls hours and PDA (Public Display of Affection)? What did they think and feel during the Cuban missile crisis? Where were they on the day John F. Kennedy was shot? What did white suburban kids do when they discovered how rental housing worked, or racial tensions flared? How did couples obtain an abortion before Roe vs. Wade?
Growing up is never easy, but the times made it even more confusing for Jerry and his classmates as they struggled with their idealism when the world they thought they could make clashed with the one their parents sought to keep.
