A new and talented storyteller, John Morrison, weaves a wonderful story into a feel-good novel with an old-fashioned beginning, middle and end. The setting is Independence, Missouri, in 1977, when disco was king and Jimmy Carter moved in to the White House. During the next several decades, the story flows through the vehicle of the Star truck and Johns life experiences with the constant vein of the paper route. The effects of changing technology and social mores are shown in an interesting and sometimes poignant way. Recollect your own experiences of the first Stock Market crash, V-J Day, the Kennedy assassination, Viet-Nam, Kansas City flood of 1977, and even the 1985 Cardinals-Royals World...
