Roads and Parking Lots

ROADS AND PARKING LOTS is Michael McDaeth’s fictionalized memoir of growing up on a homestead, which he calls the mini-ranch, in Northern Minnesota under the thumb of his overbearing dad he is convinced has a demon inside of him. The story begins in 1980 when Mick returns to the mini-ranch after failing to hitchhike his way to a new life somewhere far away. Mick parties with his friends, gives hitchhiking another try and eventually moves to Minneapolis where more trouble awaits him. Mick tries to make the best of things with a generous portion of dark humor in cold cruel 80’s.
