Benny & Me
By Jack L. Hatfield

Mickey O'Reilly learns about life through struggle and adversity.  His bold life adventure stretches from Ohio to California and across familiar epoch national periods, depression and prosperity, and colorful American communities, farms, railroads, hoboes, taverns, bartenders, entrepreneurs, and good-hearted women.  This is also the story about Benny, a lovable but challenged little man.  His warm relationship with Mickey leads to adventure, bonding, and maturity for two young men.  A tale of friendship, love, loyalty, and family.
