Unusual story about a boy with a neglectful unavailable father. He grows up surrounded by his Uncle's buddies who congregate at a small neighborhood bar. He finds peace and comfort as well as advice and wisdom from an assortment of men. Mother is unstable but provides the necessary love and resourcefulness to keep J.R. in school and in her Father's home. J.R. is befriended by many men and betrayed by a lovely woman coed. From youth to maturity this story intrigues but still remains curiously disappointing. J.R. becomes a newspaper journalist and Mother finally rises from the ashes of her Father's domicile.
