Of Summer Braids and Lime Grenades

By Jeremy J. Standifird

War is hell.

1987. Bon Jovi, Beastie Boys, and Debbie Gibson own the Billboard charts. Hulk Hogan defends his WWF Heavyweight title at WrestleMania III. Reagan tells Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall. And on a quiet street in a Southern California neighborhood, war breaks out.

Love has bloomed and died in a span of a month, setting in motion a chain of events that threatens the very existence of the neighborhood's deeply held social order. When May, the brown-braided globetrotting adolescent Aphrodite, arrives out of the blue, bringing with her the uncanny ability to create remarkable chaos, no one is quite prepared for what comes next: a lemon war so magnificent in scale and significance that it will never be forgotten.

Brother fights brother, friendships dissolve. Heroes emerge. And nothing will ever be the same again.
