Revolutionary Tales' is a collection of twenty-five thought-provoking stories that take place between the Nixon and Trump presidencies. The stories give you a front-row seat to people struggling to deal with the challenges of their times. You become a witness to everything from student rebellion in the 1960s, the rise of technology in the 80s, to the crazy politics of today. Humorously told and often bordering on the absurd, we see through the eyes of characters dealing with unforeseen challenges they try to overcome. In 'The Terminal,' a young man leaving the country to avoid the violence of the Vietnam War finds himself in the middle of another war he couldn’t escape. In 'Fools Gold.' a man uses a computer dating service to find the perfect mate, only to find that the computer is only as good as the information it’s fed. In 'Good Trouble,' a grandmother goes to jail and teaches her grandson the meaning of standing up for one’s beliefs. 'Revolutionary Tales' provides a refreshing look at American life from the late 60s to the present and will leave you with a better understanding of how people handled many of the major issues that affected their lives.
