Eleven Miles South of Half Moon Bay is a shout of joy and a howl of grief. It is a single golden instant and all eternity. It is a story mundane as boys playing marbles yet vast as life and death. It is the story of two free spirits: cousins for a mortal moment, brothers forever.One young man wore his nickname, Wild Man, proudly. But compared to his counterpart, he should have answered to Mild Man. One excelled in academics and athletics with little effort; the other struggled for mediocrity. One pretended to follow the rules; the other defied them. One became a college graduate, the other a high school dropout. One laughed when he failed his pre-draft physical; the other volunteered to serve in Vietnam.Eleven Miles South of Half Moon Bay is the story of young men coming of age in the 1960s. It is the story of swimming naked at the YMCA, youthful rebellion and indiscretion, and surviving in a neighborhood where fist fights were as common as Saturday morning cartoons. It is the story of one young mans confrontation with both life and death and the struggle of another to make sense of the senseless.
