Rich Boy Cries for Momma - punk book - trailer - DC scene

Rich Boy Cries for Momma is told from the perspective of the good son turned teenage punk rocker and is set in Washington, DC during the turbulent 1970s and 80s. Filled with mayhem, teenage romances and substance abuse yet funny and touching, the story focuses on the young, unnamed protagonist. A disparate cast of characters - from junkies, gangsters and jocks, to the kids of diplomats, the girl next door and the boy who suffers from fecalphilia - become entangled in the "scene". Rich Boy Cries for Momma pulls the reader into the allure of a counterculture that ultimately changes the lives of the narrator and those he cares most about.
