It’s 1978, and Greg Harris and his best friend, David Fralia, are looking forward to everything the summer after high school has to offer them. Their plan? To hit the open road and drive across the American West before the sun sets on their freedom. With only Greg’s old Volkswagen Bug, a two-man tent, and a couple of .22-caliber rifles, they embark on an exuberant, freewheeling journey into manhood and into an uncertain, unforgiving future. Within the framework of a classic American road trip, Summer of ’78 manages to be both an intensely personal autobiographical narrative and a universal coming-of-age story. In this vivid teen travelogue, Greg revives the music, culture, and spirit of the 1970s, a vibrant and tumultuous era, recounting his fondest memories from his adventure with David—five states in one day!—and a tragedy that will change him forever.
