From the Days of Dirt (Dollar Book)

From the Days of Dirt is a brutally honest confession from natural-born troublemaker, Marcus Hastings. This funny and edgy coming-of-age fictionalized memoir is filled with stories of youthful misadventure, mischief, angst, and love. Set in Maine in the 1990’s, it reflects back to a simpler time before social media and smartphones.

Marcus’ cynical yet oddly refreshing perspective on what it means to feel alive finds humor and meaning in just about everything, whether that be setting himself on fire, falling in love, or being thrown in jail. Marcus’ true to life journal entries chronicle his crooked, haphazard journey through adolescence. Many of his recollections are timeless and relatable. We all had that crazy friend or that weird neighbor, and if not, now you do.
