"The Sixties" - a brief phrase that conjures up all kinds of amazingimages...unless, of course, you weren't there! It was a time when "freelove" was anything but, and there was a heavy price to be paid formessing with "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll." Find out whatcoming-of-age in that magical era was "really" like in the outrageouslyfunny novel ESCAPING INNOCENCE (A Story of Awakening) by Joe PerroneJr.  Meet David Justin, an Italian-Catholic, height-challenged youth,desperately trying to escape the bonds of sexual repression andadolescent innocence that dare to hold him captive in - yes, youguessed it - "The Sixties."  Experience them for the very first time, orrelive them again and again, but either way, for heaven's sake, don'tmiss ESCAPING INNOCENCE (A Story of Awakening).

The Story Behind This Book

I was driving a limousine, selling real estate, and painting houses, when I read "All of My Friends Are Going to be Strangers," by Larry McMurty. It told of a "blocked" writer, who determined to write at least one paragraph a day. I adopted the philosophy, and my wife, Becky, bought me a half-dozen spiral notebooks. The rest, as they say, is history...

KUDOS for "ESCAPING INNOCENCE" -- "Author Joe Perrone Jr. has written the definitive 'coming-of-age' novel, with hare-brained characters like those we all knew in our youth. Check your own 'innocence' at the door, and start reading ESCAPING INNOCENCE - you won't be able to put it down!" -- Rick Dawley, former Chief Operating Officer, Superstand Entertainment Co., Houston,TX

"If you are a child of the sixties, you have to read this book! It's filled with universal characters and experiences guaranteed to touch every emotion possible. Don't miss this one." --Bob Walker, former CEO Promotion Mechanics, Inc., a Division of Ogilvy & Mather Advertising
