A coming of age story that involves friendship, the 1960's, innocence lost and consequences. At its heart, The Crusaders is about the friendship, loyalty and love for each other that anchored and enabled them to get through those chaotic times to the other side of healing. From rock and roll to the space program, drugs to free love, the Vietnam War to civil rights, equality for women to the assassinations of beloved leaders, they forever changed an entire generation. The Crusaders is a collection of stories... that ignores most of that. Instead, it's about a group of friends who grew up in a bedroom community called La Puente near Los Angeles, California, during those tumultuous and seminal times. From the innocence of pubescent naiveté to the experimenting of curious minds, The Crusaders takes the reader through the 60's from their youthful point of view with warmth, humor and good-matured fun. The Crusaders both celebrates the 60's and exposes the unintended consequences that resulted as they slipped deeper into the uncharted waters of the times. And how they paid dearly for their actions. www.TheCrusaders.com
