How inclined we are as parents to project ourselves on our kids: what we want them to be, what we think they should be. We can't help ourselves....But the essence of being a parent...is just giving up. Giving up that control.

A Rod Serling-esque social allegory for these days of economic collapse, environmental sea change, and increasing talk of 'end times.'

A highly personal tale of undergrown men and overgrown boys experiencing the growing pains of love turned unrequited, and the realization that nothing—not freedom, not security, not innocence, not love—lasts forever.

An easy realism and an intimate domestic perspective on events that became consequential to national history...replacing histrionics with a genuine curiosity about what it must have been like to live this story from the inside.
