With Tricky Dick in the White House, peace talks in Paris, and war in Vietnam all of America was in turmoil. After 1967s summer of love and 1968s summer of protest, it seemed like anything could happen next, and Sam Barger thought it might.

Aided by unlikely allies, Sam and Iris both found their way through numerous challenges in this continuing story of Sam Barger from Secondhand Summer and Back Home.
