At fifty-six, Paul Justin must close his bookstore which he has managed for over fifteen years at a major shopping center in Long Island, New York. B. Dalton moved in and his sales plummeted. He soon finds a job as a sales rep with a publishing/remainder company, and his travels for the company expose him to new ways of looking at himself. He is, as the title suggests, a man growing up, finding various roads and wrong people until he finds Susan and a "right" road-for which there is always a series of prices.
