Hometown war
The Sneaky Freaky is the second book in the Blue House Series. It was a different kind of war, or so said all the newspapers. It was an unpopular war, but when has war ever been popular? And then there was the sexual revolution, the rampant use of drugs, and so many more "causes" during the late 60s. To coin a phrase-"man it was freaky.". A girl could get lost in all the chaos.
Book Excerpt
The Sneak Freaky

“War and monsters,” she groaned as she stared at the dark screen of her television. Her mind wandered into nothingness. She thought of how, earlier, she’d watched It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. It had made her laugh, had taken her thoughts away from the fact that she was alone, and that not only was her husband in Vietnam, but so was her brother.
