Download or read book Reed City Boy written by Timothy James Bazzett and published by Rathole Books. This book was released on 2008-03-21 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Tim Bazzett, fifty years ago. This book is not so much a memoir as a rambling and luminous letter he is writing to his kids. In it he pays tribute and homage to his parents, to his teachers, and to Reed City, the town that shaped him. Mining his earliest memories, Bazzett tells of childhood scrapes, homemade toys, playing cowboys and "war" and even comes clean about an embarrassing feat of flatulence in a most unlikely place which became legend in family lore. He takes you along to Indian Lake, where he spent his summers swimming, and to Saturday matinees at the Reed Theater, where he learned homespun values from Gene and Roy. You'll meet the nuns who educated him at St. Philip's School, where he learned to dance and diagram. Early struggles with sex, sin and "Catholic guilt" are given their due, along with a short-lived religious vocation and a stint at the seminary. A "pseudo-farm kid," Bazzett tells too of his trials with cows, chickens, and picking pickles; and of lessons in "animal psychology" learned from his grandfather. His high school years are marred by pimples, dorkiness, and pining for the "popular" girls, but brightened by a few close friends and some minor successes on the basketball court. He loves some of his teachers, clashes with others, and even terrorizes one, as he fumbles his way toward manhood. It's all here - the work, the play, the frustrations and the joys of growing up working-class and Catholic in the heart of small-town America. Anyone who has been there will chuckle, remember and relate to Reed City Boy.

He meets Ruby, who has been abandoned by her friends after she refuses to follow them down a destructive path of drugs and drinking. The unlikely pair begin dating. Ruby's father discovers them and cracks down; this only results in more rebellion. Jake tentatively reveals more of himself and his past to Ruby, bit by shocking bit. There are moments when she questions his trustworthiness, but she persists in believing in him. Are Jake's enemies coming after him? Is she in danger when she is with him? What all is Jake involved in?
