Reseña del libro "The Jeeptown Sock Hop (en Inglés)"

Frustrated over racial and class divisions in the 1950s, Charlie and his friends form a dance band and organize a sock hop they hope will bring black and white teenagers together. But, unknown to Clarice, Charlie struggles with a demon, his raging obsession for vengeance against the man who sexually molested him. Just as they bring their sock hop plans to the verge of success, Charlie's need for revenge erupts, and their dreams explode.No longer young, the two lovers meet again decades later to make sense out of the events that scarred their lives so many years earlier. This is the 1950s as they've never been shown.If you ever wondered why your parents or grandparents never turned out like the folks in Norman Rockwell paintings, this is the story for you. Harrigan paints a bittersweet picture of the 1950s: a troubled coming of age, tender first love, and stark racially-divided story in the gritty industrial setting of Jeeptown.This is no Bobby sock or other jacket bouncy ponytail story it's the other side of the 1950s.
