New Book by William Judd: The Time In Between
Synopsis: Fred Nash, an adolescent in the 1960’s, emerging from a repressive home life and seeking to recover from the loss of a first love, finds himself depressed and adrift. Will he find a true path for himself, or will he succumb to chaos and despair in the midst of a decade of significant cultural change?
Reviews:
“This is a remarkable book by a first-time author. It is a coming-of-age story with all the trials and tribulations that that entails. But it is an evocative remembrance of the sixties. Bill Judd captures the tone and feel of the time: the expressions, the tastes, the opinions, the small town parochialism of middle America, as well as the worries and joys unique to teenagers in that time and place.”
Leslie Graitcer, former Executive Director, Bell South Foundation
“Bill Judd’s The Time in Between is a gripping coming of age story interweaving the turbulence of adolescence with the social upheaval of the 1960’s. Judd’s personalized approach to the narrative also touches religious and family themes in a thought-provoking page turner, immersing the reader in the travails and travels of the main character, Fred Nash.”
Tom Bartlett, editor, author of Songs from the Lifeboat
