Jonathan Gertin, 60 years old, who is lying in a hospital bed in a coma, tells us the story of his life through his subconscious. He is a tortured man because of the memories that he cannot let go of in his mind. He is guilt ridden, along with his very real, mental problems that have manifested themselves throughout his life. Mr. Slapowski, through his vivid imagination, takes us through the journey that created the Gertin family in America. He then regresses to the beginning of our star protagonist ?s life. Keep in mind that Jonathan Gertin is not narrating this story; it is his subconscious, which is aware of the constant angst that Jonathan puts away in the back of his mind. There are many adventures that he experienced that come through as comedy, and as the world laughed, Jonathan cried inside himself. There is a piece of every American boy that grew up in the 50's and 60's throughout the pages of this book. Most likely, ?Baby Boomers, ? will find themselves in many of the adventures of Jonathan Gertin. What makes Jonathan's life experiences atypical from most men his age, is that he did not have the ability to let go of the difficult times, he carries a lot of baggage through no fault of his own.
