Between You, Me and the Gatepost: A Memoir

About this ebook
the early life of Eugene Cannon. He is a boy growing up among the remnants
of Jim Crow in the late 1950s and the dawning of the sexual revolution in the
1960s. He is catapulted between contrasting worlds of the ambivalent South
and the socially ambitious North. Eugene struggles to establish his own beliefs
between these extremes. The violent loss of his mother stimulates the swaying
of the pendulum in his precarious existence. His confl icts are emotional and
psychological. Uncouth role models infl uence unhealthy resolutions which fail
to satisfy his young mind; a mind where decisions are dictated by passion rather
than reason. Eugene matriculates through high school preparing for college as a
teenage father. His survival is uncertain and his potential for genuine affection
is damaged. If he retreats into one of his myriad facades he could disappear for
ever. No one has been privy to his authentic mind. When the truth is revealed
it will be among his most intimate companions.
