The Rock & Roll
Stories is a coming of age memoir that follows
the author from school dances and cruising hamburger stands, to Vietnam. Along
the way, Yeager struggles with relationships and his own courage in the face of
adolescent aggression. His passion for rock & roll music, born in the
fifties is a sustaining thread
throughout. As Dylan sang, the times were changing and as the turbulent sixties
were ramping up and the Vietnam war escalating, Yeager drops out of college and
takes off for California to pursue an unrealistic dream of
becoming a rock & roll singer.
Returning home, the dream shattered, drinking and petty theft land him
in jail and narrow his options. He enters the Army and winds up on a troop
ship headed for Vietnam. While he’s away, the country dramatically changes and
can never return to the way it was, and neither can Yeager.

2nd Edition: I wrote a sequel to the original book. Both books were short, so I merged them into one. Part 2 is the sequel and begins on page 203.
