Black and Gold: The End of the Sixties

Fast moving and insightful, Black and Gold is an extraordinary reminiscence of an extraordinary time—at once both an optimistic coming-of-age story and the depiction of the end of the most famous decade in the 20th century. This sharp and poignant story is told from the viewpoint of those who were just the right age to best experience that dangerous decade. 


Set in the Midwest in a small university town, this book tells of change from the viewpoint of Mark, an engineering student in his final year of college, with the draft looming. Beautifully evoked with engaging characters, Black and Gold is a multilayered reminiscence of passion, loss, change and discovery of courage.
