More about the book

Set in a small Virginia town before World War II, the story follows three boys—Cal, Harlan, and Buddy—who navigate the challenges of youth together. Their close bond leads them into various misadventures, earning them the nickname "the Mulligans" from a local restaurateur, "Uncle" Vic, who offers guidance and support. As they face family issues, romantic entanglements, and the looming specter of war, the boys discover the power of second chances and resilience in their journey toward adulthood.
