The Jugheads

By J.R. Helton

Book Overview

East Texas in the 1960s is not the worst place to have grown up, but for narrator Jake of The Jugheads , it was a minefield. Describing clearly and courageously first jobs and first kisses, family vacations and family fights, Jake takes us through a wild ride of a coming of age, in an ordinary American family that he believes is as violent and dysfunctional as they come. By turns hilarious and moving, The Jugheads is a compelling return to form for a master of the underside of the American psyche.
