Sodom, Gomorrah & Jones

"Carlton 'CJ' Jones is a septuagenarian U.S. citizen with a bone to pick about American society. Carrying the baggage of a past he cannot reconcile with today's realities, the retired history professor and widower watches the awful news on television every evening, reads heavy tomes on the Native-American genocide and the Kennedy assassinations, and formulates his own understanding about the way things are. He broods and reflects and puzzles over the newness of everything in the lives of today's young people. But it is not until he befriends a pair of young women in their twenties that he begins to understand exactly how much things have rubbed against the grain of his perceptions. Then CJ discovers a secret concerning his deceased wife while going through her personal papers. That secret convinces him to do something about the longing and depression he has felt for years. CJ develops a new vision and a new way of settling with change in a challenging world"--Amazon.com.
