This is a coming of age story about a young man, Carson Longworth,
who will come to discover he knows virtually nothing about what's
happening in the world around him. In high school his life consists
of music, dance, dating, and good times. Set in the 1960's early
1970's when the Vietnam War is beginning to heat up, Carson has not
given a good deal of thought to anything beyond the here and now
and much less to what is happening around him. Having grown up
"under a lucky star," he just assumes that he merely needs to exist
and good things will happen to him. Carson wrestles with his
personal demons and the general inanity of the world. When he
leaves high school and attempts to tackle the world at large,
though, he finds the relative freedom outside the cocoon somewhat
more than he can handle. Carson's "relative world of plenty" and
his historical insulation from the "real world" contributes to the
perception that he is aloof. In reality, he just doesn't know how
to relate to people. He has no childhood memories of any close
friendships, as he found himself in a new place every few years. As
such, his outlook on life has been shaped somewhat differently from
his peers. This holds particularly true for his relationships with
women. He simply had little idea how to relate to women in any
meaningful manner until he met Kathy Wilkerson. After high school,
Carson spent two academically forgettable, but socially memorable,
years in college. He was eventually drafted by the Army, but joined
the Marine Corps, because he 'wanted to be a man', an experience
that shaped him indelibly. His experiences in the Vietnam War
helped create his antagonistic outlook. He could not come to terms
with the intent of the war nor the manner in which it was being
conducted. He found himself on the outside looking in. He became,
contrary to most who join the Marine Corps, a liberal thinker and a
skeptic who became increasingly frustrated with the inconsistencies
that he observed in the conduc
