The Rainy Winters Band

About the Book

Jack King is at a crossroads - Things haven't exactly turned out for him the way he imagined...unless, of course, getting dumped by his girlfriend, being a slave to workforce drudgery and living the life of a degenerate pothead were all part of the cosmic plan. Faced with the choice of either surrendering to the realities of this mundane existence or boldly pursuing his own creative passion for peach pie, the blues and the Chicago Cubs, Jack hits the road to live the dream and find friendship, love, money and the Big Time.
