Going Home - Paperback

by Robert P. Bell (Author)

When Scott returned home after spending all summer working in New York, where he learned the ways of men and what they expected of him, he felt different. He realized he wasn't the same person he was in June. He was very confident, and his attitude toward his peers was "I'm someone to be reckoned with." This, of course, caused problems with them, as well as with his teachers. So began the worst four months of his young life.

Then the lore of Southern California called, he and his family headed west. Life was good and as his four children grew so did the desire to build fast cars and race them.
