"Reunion" begins and ends with the 45th reunion of the 1960
class of Princeton, West Virginia. Set in a small town on the
southern edge of the state, it deals with usual themes of
coming-of-age and high school, as well as the once-in-a-lifetime
experience of desegregation and its impact on a group of friends.
In addition, the debut novel, written in the first person in an
engaging style, probes the relationship, or lack of it, between an
emotionally-distant father and his son, who much later in life
begins to understand what it means to grow up as the adult child of
an alcoholic.
The characters are rich and varied, with the very essence of
Americana: high school, football, and social interactions on
multiple levels; the music of the 50 s; the thrill of short-wave
ham radio; a unique peer group, including an emerging high school
rock band; and of course the family of origin, a complex mix of
stately Virginians and more informal Kentuckians.
