Description
It is the early 1960s. Glendora, California. Along with the country, the city holds its breath between the two most shocking assassinations of the 20th century: Kennedy and King. Shortly before Kennedy's assassination, Joshua Crass suffers from an adverse reaction to penicillin. The six-year-old boy wakes from a coma with no recollection of his parents, his brother, or anyone else in his life. He embarks on a journey to discover who he was, who he is and who he's going to be, but a wall of forgotten memories blocks his path. After King's assassination, he joins the ranks of his textbook heroes to face head on his greatest fear of all, death, only to discover that sometimes the past is better left forgotten.

Cliff Ashpaugh grew up in the wilds of the 1970s San Gabriel Valley, dodging bullets while driving around in his 1964 Pontiac low-rider. Since then, he's progressed from low-riders to motorcycles to airplanes to scuba diving to sailboats. You can usually find him today stretched out on the deck of his thirty-two foot blue-water sailing cruiser that he calls home, flinging a bottle of Martell XO Supreme around for all to partake. After performing his patriotic duty for six years in the Air Force, where he worked on nuclear minuteman missile silos in South Dakota, he returned to Southern California and school in the early eighties. He soon suspicioned he had a gift for writing after flunking his first attempt at Freshman Composition. Since then, he's won a few literary awards, including five in the last year, has published in magazines, has organized and moderated writing critic groups, and has participated as a guest speaker at literary events.
