Liverpool Late Teens: The Post-WWII Years (1950 - 1953)

In this third book, set during the years 1950-1953 within the seaport of Liverpool, the main protagonist is finishing his apprenticeship as a Ruler/Bookbinder at Benson's printers. The story picks up as he recovers from a cycling accident and reflects on the changes in his life. He encounters and becomes engaged in a mix of situations: some humorous, when reconnecting with an old school friend; workmates' alleged ghostly apparitions; an alarming basement fire with a mysterious outcome; and a furtive co-worker assignation ending in angst. He becomes emotionally aware, too, of the regrettable side of life in uncalled-for workplace stances; the city's aggressive populace minority intent on criminal ugliness revealed in vicious, narrow-minded bitterness, violence, and descending tragedy. Amidst all this, he begins to envision his future aspirations. As events unfold, he must make decisions that will shape his future while also considering the impact on his family. What choices will he make?
