Review "Jerome Brooks' fourth novel is his most heavyhearted...it burns with the irrationality and untidiness of real life." -- The New York Times Product Description Make Me A Hero chronicles the struggle to survive of the forgotten generation: those too young to fight in World War II, but not old enough to have survived it unaffected by the detritus gathering in its wake."Brooks' portrayal of a boy groping his way to maturity and self-esteem is impressive, but what makes this book shine is the writingfresh, probing, and uncompromising. What must have been an autobiographical germ has been shaped into a rich, perceptive story. Jake's heart and mind are real and the lessons he learns will endure."ALA Booklist About the Author Jerome Brooks lives in Evanston, Illinois, with his wife, and their Tibetan terrier. After a distinguished teaching career, Brooks developed and taught a fiction-writing workshop for the University of Chicago's Publishing Program.
