From bringing home a stray dog to discovering pornography, toilet-papering houses to underage drinking, Nowhere Near Manhood is an invigorating slurp from the fountain of youth. With charm, wit, nostalgia, and humor, these tales will take you on an endearing and comical trip back in time to relive the joy, the pain, the danger, the laughter--the essence of childhood.
