ePub Version. Each with a twist, these 15 short stories are true. Each story stands alone, but the sequence is autobiographical in nature. The stories cover a wide range of adventures from high school hazing and retaliation, to heart-stopping life-threatening moments on cliffs and rivers. Gerry cleverly weaves meaning, analysis, lust, and love through the bombast. Not a primer for action, these stories give you an insightful peek into Gerry's life.
