    About this ebook

    Jackson Albright Hilton, Jack, dragged his heritage around for years, trying to shed it. The drama and trauma of those years provoked escape via a desperate whim. Entanglements and involvements with old and young created a running stream of experiences, which confronted the "too much and too little" that had held him captive.
