Growing Up on Route 66
Check out this brand new book by Michael Lund called Growing Up on Route 66.
A coming of age story in a small town along the famous highway, Route 66. Novelist Michael Lund’s Route 66 kids are the generation that grew up in America after World War II, experiencing childhood in the innocent 1950s but coming of age in the turbulent 1960s. Their stories are told in seven novels stretching form the post-War period to after 9/11. Growing up on Route 66, first book in the series, is set in a Missouri small town along “America’s Main Street.” The story of Mark Landon, Marcia Terrell, and their friends takes place in a neighborhood known to the children growing up there as the “Circle.” That time and place are remembered as ideal, but closer scrutiny repeatedly–and often humorously–complicates this innocent picture.
