Synopsis "Joe College (in English)"

Joe College is a touching, coming-of-age story, which tells the tale of a young, working class man who overcomes alcoholism and a devastating accident that leaves him hearing impaired to attend college and turn his life around.The main character endures long, punishing hours in the hard rock construction trade but dreams of going to college and getting an education. Without enough money to pay tuition fees and with little understanding of how to even apply, he sits on his lunch break watching students in his college town walking to and from their classes, wishing he could join them.The young man eventually sells everything he owns to swap a life of cutting stone and pouring concrete for a college education.Based on author Bert J Miller's own experiences, Joe College is refreshingly honest and will have you laughing one minute and crying the next.The novel follows the main character on a journey of self-discovery as he works his way through college, juggling a menagerie of jobs and a stint in an army medical battalion, while living in a hard-partying fraternity house that is thrown off campus for drug, alcohol and sexual code violations. Through his perseverance, the protagonist shows that anything is possible, from graduation to finding love.This work of New Adult fiction is an authentic account of the college experience from the perspective of a "Joe Sixpack" who never thought becoming a "Joe College" graduate was in his life plan.
