About the Book
Three kids. Three best friends who spent a large portion of their lives together, who promised each other that the three of them would always come first and the world second. It’s their college graduation day from the University of Wisconsin, and Zach, Kevin, and Mike reminisce and reflect on their past—how they navigated through childhood to adulthood.
Growing up in Milwaukee, the three recall the indestructibility of youth, their families, blind ambition, youthful indiscretions, and illegal smiles. This graduation day is to be the prelude to the rest of their lives. And their lives do change this day, but not in the way they had dreamed. Time has killed what they thought they once possessed.
In When Men Are Young, author Terry Gavin’s second novel, he continues to examine the intricacies of youth culture and its glorious innocence and recklessness.
