Teen Age
About
Tony Gaines
A Personal Journey of Heartbreak, Discovery, Rebellion, and Self-Identity
Tony Gaines is the pen-name of this extraordinary novel from the 1970s because of its rite of passage account and because this book came from a childhood and adolescence moved by movement, observation, and reflection. Born in Boston because his father was in the military, Tony Gaines grew up in three continents and soaked up cultures, ideas, and human behavior, all of which inspired this novel, a 1970s coming of age novel, as an author. So this novel began from an early beginnings love affair with telling stories to maintaining a diary as a pre-teenage boy aged twelve years old.
