McKay, Robert

An 18-year-old goes from a reformatory to a small town high school, joins the football team, and tries to put his life in order.

To some, Jesse is a born troublemaker but to many others he is a high school senior asking to be treated as a citizen with feelings and rights.

Just out of school, a young boy faces an uncertain future unless the diamond ring he found and kept and the people around him can force him to make some decisions about his life.

Provides information on service business entrepreneurship, discussing questions to consider, financial planning steps, raising money, and the lifestyle and presenting profiles of professionals in such careers as travel agent, caterer, painter, and landscape gardener.

Alternating chapters present the view points of a high school boy and girl, long-time schoolmates who finally become curious about each other.
