A terrific cast of characters

Crossing California, by Adam Langer (2004)

An amazing cast of characters muddle through life together in Chicago in late 1970s and early 80s. A book based on transitions in teens, adults, families, and the city itself. Whether divided by California Avenue which marks the transition between old and new, between safe and slummy, between hope and poverty, the characters in the book will draw you in and keep you reading.
