Benjamin Taylor opens this memoir of a year in his life with the day he and his mom met President John Kennedy after a speech in Ft. Worth, Texas, a day that ends with the shocking assassination of the president. Taylor tells about the events, both personal and in the world at large, that shaped his understanding of himself during a critical coming-of-age year. His life, like all our lives, is ordinary yet also extraordinary.
