Publisher's Synopsis
A brutally honest, humorous, and sometimes heartbreaking memoir of growing up in mid-20th-century America. Kenneth Chatfield recounts vivid memories of mischief, love, rebellion, and lessons learned the hard way-from sneaking moonshine and blowing up police cars to falling in love with teachers and navigating small-town life. Told with wit and unfiltered storytelling, Adventures of a Common Man explores a boy's wild journey into manhood with charm, grit, and unapologetic candor.
