In 1888, at the behest of his dying mother, Jacob Rocker, a young Jew, sets off on a journey from New York City to California. He endures the hardships of shipboard life passing through New Orleans and Galveston. He learns about the frontier as a freight hauler traveling through a chain of Texas army posts from San Antonio to El Paso. His journey through wilderness, the notorious Jornada del Muerto desert and the New Mexico mountains, involves struggles with his past and conflicting prospects for his future. He faces deprivation, bigotry, pain and pleasure. Jacob encounters some dynamic characters including the Apachde chiefs Geronimo and Victorio, Buffalo soldier Col. Ronald Mackenzie, Santa Fe Archbishop Jean Lamy and territorial governor Lew Wallace. He falls in love with Hannah Jung, a young white woman who had been kidnapped by renegade Mescalero Indians. Rocker's search for a meaningful life on his pilgrimage is as relevant today as it was in A JOURNEY WEST.

Camp Harmony

By: Michael Boloker

Benjamin 'Big' Traub, young Korean War veteran, takes a job as driver at Camp Harmony expecting to spend a summer of fun and light work. Instead he encounters trouble and has conflicts with several staff members involving their cruelty, abuse of campers, bigotry and pedophilia. Despite these problems, he becomes romantically involved with the camp doctor, Lani Welch, helps a youngster, Mickey Davis, cope with the recent death of his father, and makes friendships with counselors and campers who are trying to cope in this fiercely competitive atmosphere. Big must make the choice of involving himself in these struggles and jeopardizing his position or ignoring them. His dilemma leads to an anguishing series of incidents and consequences climaxing in the events of July 29th, the anniversary of an unsolved murder committed 30 years earlier, when campers must walk down the Old Harmony Road as a test of their courage. Camp Harmony is a powerful novel of self-discovery and coming of age set in the supposedly innocent atmosphere of a boys' summer camp.

Getting to Phoenix

By: Michael Boloker

A hilarious account of one man's adjustment in moving from New York City to Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun. Laughingly takes us from the last eventful days in New York describing frantic garage sales, the end of a career in the East and the long distance real estate negotiation.Gently satirizes every aspect of the Phoenix scene from the real estate boom to such ordinary customs as food shopping, cowboy art walks and the local sports mania. Comically details taking ownership, arranging renovations and remodelling a house. A cast of characters including gay designers, petulant wallpaper hangers, carpet installers, painters and landscapers. Even finding a doctor proves to be a laughable ordeal. Moving from Manhattan to Phoenix hits home when the sign on the public library's door says, "Deadly weapons not allowed in building." Culture shock personified! This is an amusing narrative most will recognize as part of today's American experience.

The Gym Rat

By: Michael Boloker

Graphically details the story of Guy Golden, Division I college basketball coach, who is forced to deal with the aura of the N.C.A.A. tournament, "March Madness," while his star player is accused of raping a coed. The novel concerns the conflict between his love for the game and the pressure to win at any cost. Golden is disillusioned with the unethical nature of major college sports: recruiting, the exploitation of athletes, drug abuse, gambling, affluent alumni, the powerful media, money. "Winning is the only thing." THE GYM RAT exposes the raw reality of college athletics. It is the narrative of a man's love of a game which threatens to destroy him.
