Fledgling Days

In an unnamed city, Robert Cole, a young boy struggling to understand life, embarks on a journey. In this quixotic tale, he leaves behind an argumentative family that ignores his true passion: music. Alone and distant, he finds life on the road isn’t so easy. There he meets a hungry bear; a lying vagabond; a group of circus performers that hide secrets in whispers; befriends a female singer of a questionable past; follows the bad advice of a band called The Warf Rats; falls in love; and discovers the importance of the past. Music resonates on each page as Robert Cole moves through this raucous tale. Enchanted by lush scenery and colorful characters, Fledgling Days is substantive, stylish, and often times comic adventure that will keep you reading until the last page.
