Ithaca
In a tiny town in the San Joaquin Valley of California, 14-year-old Homer Macauley is determined to be the fastest and best bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has seen. His older brother moved to war, leaving Homer to appear after his widowed mother, his sister and his former own brother. And so it is that as spring turns to summer, 1942,'' Homer Macauley delivers messages of love, hope, pain... and passing... to the great people of Ithaca. And Homer Macauley will grapple with an particular message that could change him - from the boy into a person. Dependent on Pulitzer Prizewinning writer William Saroyan's 1943 book, The Human Comedy, ITHACA is your quintessential wartime narrative of the Homefront. It's the sting of death, the sweetness of life, a narrative in regards to the exuberance of childhood and the goodness that resides in each one of the people.
