'Historians and baby boomers alike will recall the 1950s as a golden age. A golden age of television, sports and the American family dream. Steve Zettler’s insightful Leave the Kid Alone, reveals the tarnish and the shadow that hung over this golden age... a great and insightful memoir.' Dan Lauria, star of The Wonder YearsStevie is seven years old, going on eight, and the world is his oyster.He’s growing up above the family restaurant/bar/country inn, nestled in the free-spirited, alcohol-saturated Bucks County, Pennsylvania of the 1950s. The Inn is a magnet-a merry-go-round attracting larger-than-life characters from every imaginable walk of life.On one side are the customers and overnight guests: Broadway producers, actors and songsters; Pulitzer Prize-winning authors, colorful artists, mobsters, and the occasional governor. On the other side of the kitchen’s swinging door are the employees: worldly-wise war veterans, savvy waitresses, and acerbic bartenders.For Stevie, it’s a world of constant motion, noise, and wonder.But his life is about to change in a way no one could have predicted.Growing up can be hard to do-and there may be no way of avoiding it. 6
