This Boy

By: F. Mark Granato

Narrated by: F. Mark Granato

From Camelot to despair in a single decade.

In an instant, young Danny Logan fell in love with a girl and a career. Only one was faithful.

Growing up on the streets of Hartford, Connecticut's South End in the tumultuous 1960s was a challenge in itself. For Logan, it meant having sharp wits, rock-solid values, and pride. But when he meets a girl who captures his heart with a single glance, he is torn between the neighborhood he knows - the place where he belongs - and a world of wealth beyond his dreams in a mansion at Fenwick on the shores of Long Island Sound.

When disloyalty crushes his fantasy, he finds a new life as a newspaperman covering the violence and divisiveness of racial unrest in the City and the bloody Vietnam conflict. His journey as a reporter and editor takes him through the headlines that mark the worst of the 60s and 70s and harden him to the harsh realities of a new world.

Intriguing and Well Told

The fact that the author provided the narration added depth to the tale. The inflections and sincerity in his voice enhanced the dimensions of the story. You almost feel as if you are sitting with the storyteller, rather than commuting or whatever activities you may be involved in while listening.

I have also read other books by this author, Finding David and the Barn Find, which were both exceptional. I am glad This Boy made it to Audible, and hopefully the others will be recorded soon.
