A quirky novel of adventure and friendship that “follows two imaginative boys from post-WWII New Orleans to 1970s Hollywood” (Publishers Weekly).
Homer Sincere and Rigby Canfield’s shared adventures take them from childhood to adulthood, from mysterious hangouts in New Orleans to Hollywood’s world of cowboys and heroes—and have led them both to fall in love with the same woman.
This novel recounting their sweeping story and longstanding bond embraces the landscape of America and captures the innocence of an earlier time full of mischief, real life heroes, and the simplicity of friendships that feel like family.
“[This] wonderful epic tale . . . captures the spirit of a great time in America . . . Endearing and amazing adventures.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Innovators
“Remarkable . . . Part Forrest Gump, part Rocket Boys, and part Adventures in the Screen Trade, this is the story of an America that used to be or at least should have been.” —Homer Hickam, New York Times–bestselling author of Rocket Boys
