About this ebook
"Dan Merrithew" by Lawrence Perry
Starting with a voyage on a boat, the titular character, Dan Merrithew, finds himself entranced, momentarily, with a young woman on board. Hailing from Boston, New England was often cruel to his family. As a fast-paced coast, it can be easy to get lost in the fray. However, through many struggles, Dan is determined to make a life for himself. Through steep bets, infatuations, and the tireless will to keep going, this is a book about growing up, even when you're already an adult.
