The Scorching Scoundrel

Jan LaFave

Set in small town America, Scorch does his best to wreak havoc into the lives of this anything but ordinary family. Venture with them as they traverse the ups and downs of the Groovy ’60s and come to age during the Turbulent ’70. Will Max stop the family car with two of his daughters trapped inside before it collides with oncoming traffic? Will Millie's brothers rescue her from the clutches of a wringer washing machine? What will their mother, Hanna, do when she catches Susan and Beth in a whopper of a tale over missing coins? How will Kate retaliate against her sister Mollie when she is grounded for initiating the hair-pulling, arm-biting, catfight? Step back to the days of simplicity and spend a few hours reliving the time before cell phones, internet, and social media—when kids played outside until the streetlights came on, drinks came from a garden hose, and homes had only one television.
