Résumé

Baseball, beaches, going barefoot at school... For Alan Cook, it's great to be a kid in early 1970s Hawaii. Recent transplants from Tennessee, Alan and his family find themselves thrust into a new world that straddles military and island civilian; traditional armed forces and anti-military counterculture. Baseball. It is young Alan Cook's Hawaii obsession. So manic is Alan about the game, that he sees his Little League outings as a springboard for a career in the Major Leagues.
But Alan has a second obsession during those idyllic island years: Cindy Medlock, a teenage beauty who lives in the same Manana Housing area where Alan lives. Still, Alan's infatuation with Cindy is unrequited. Meanwhile, Alan's Navy Chaplain father ministers to a community of U. S. Marines who balance the pressure of the waning Vietnam conflict with domestic battles at home. Alan becomes increasingly aware of the struggle between military parents brought up in the 1950s and their teen dependents who gravitate towards the youth counterculture of the times.
Worlds finally collide when Alan is kidnapped by a group of young radicals who fancy themselves as the Hawaii chapter of the S. L. A (the same California outfit that kidnapped heiress Patricia Hearst in early 1974). To his dismay, one of the captors is Cindy Medlock. Alan is eventually rescued by law enforcement but what he witnesses in the process is horrific and life changing.*****Legacy Book Press LLC is a traditional publisher of personal stories told via non-fiction, fiction, poetry, or a combination.
