Especially when he's energized by the bouncy trampoline of awakening sex. Most of the novel is set in the pre-WWII suburb of Manhasset, N.Y.Jim Mahoney, whose roots go back to Iowa and Chicago, faces the consequences of his father's death and the loss of warmth provided by his extended family. He is ripped from that embrace by events caused by the 1930's Depression and subsequently deposited in various boys' homes and military schools. The question is: Does Jim have the courage to overcome his difficult beginnings.
