Born in the culture-rich Little Italy community of New York City, and raised among the new suburban neighborhoods of Long Island in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, Vince Stella has painted an articulate picture of growing up during the phenomenon called the baby boom. He shares his anecdotes and experiences in this unique history of the boomers by recalling what it was like to live during a time of wonder as children, excitement as teenagers, and of experimentation and anger as young adults.
