Johnny Be Good
Johnny Be Good is the recollections of a young man on the fast track to trouble as he hitchhikes around the United States between the ages of 13-16. Raised by a single mom, he endures her benevolent neglect and many boyfriends and husbands until one of them suggests he take off and "become a man." Cashing in his bus ticket, he hits the road with his thumb out and his duffel bag on his shoulder. Set in the 1950's, its another world as he encounters good guys and bad guys and learns to accept a variety of characters that help or try to hinder him on his way. From Denver. Colorado, to Phoenix, Arizona, Johnny rides his thumb all the way to New York City looking for a place to belong and a family to be part of. Funny, infuriating, and fast paced, Johnny Be Good will capture your heart and bring to mind a time when finding yourself was still an adventure.
