Crackajack Love

The U.S. Military and Tinseltown meet Brokeback Mountain in this debut novel by Bill Jackson. In 1960, while serving Uncle Sam and fantasizing about appearing on the big screen, Alex Price's life is turned upside down when he falls in love with two people. He falls first for a fellow soldier, then later in the same year, he falls for the daughter of a TV star. Alex's story is told with humor, compassion and southern frankness against backdrops of south Georgia, Oklahoma, New York, Hollywood and Seoul, Korea (among others).
