Plenty For there in the symbols and sounds of your youth lay the keys to undertanding the gnawing sense of disappointment you carry around as an adult. “the Cleavers Don’t Live Here Anymore” will take you on a deja vu journey through time like nothing you have ever experienced before. You will discover how the great expectations and spiritual idealism of the ’50’s and ’60’s crashed headlong into the hard knocks of real life – and left many of us born after World War II holding the remnants of broken dreams in our hands. Find out why your generation may face a more turbulent, disillusioning passage through the middle years than any other group in this century. Includes an in-depth study guide by William Watkins.
