A Fictional Nostalgic Reflection by Robb James (Betta Books, 2026)
Synopsis
For Christian Clark, his boyhood town of Tingston was idyllic, frozen in a mid-20th century suburban innocence. His big brother Dan was a legendary icon, star high school quarterback and prince of the town. Chris’s days and nights were spent with his best friends at the local diner, drive-in theater, and fireworks every Fourth of July.
When the dawn of the 1970s brings its seismic shifts to the country, Chris and the town are finally forced into navigating a new American landscape of loss. When the security of his world is shattered, bonds are broken and loyalty is tested. Chris is ultimately faced with the choice of staying by his parents’ side in what’s left of the town he knew, or leaving everything behind for an uncertain adulthood somewhere far from Tingston.
