The Deception of the Thrush

Itâ€™s 1964. The Beatles invade America. Freedom summer begins. Three young voting rights workers disappear in Mississippi. President Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act into law. Soon, heâ€™ll deploy American troops in South Vietnam. And Jason Follett, a Midwestern boy with a secret, heads to college in a world thatâ€™s turning upside down. Behind the mask of a successful athlete and fraternity leader, heâ€™s dogged by questions about his homosexuality. To protect his secret, he violates his moral code. Confronting the ugly face of racism, he ï¬nds his inner voice. He protests against the war. His overbearing father forces him to conform. But he breaks with his past to ï¬nd a new direction. The assassinations of Dr. King and Robert Kennedy, however, disrupt his plans. Finally, his 1-A status throws into question his ultimate destiny.
