In this sensitive and smart coming-of-age rock novel, Atlanta fast food worker Calvin loses his girlfriend, his band and his best friend in a single day.
Told with insight, cleverness and deep awareness of the challenges to making a life in music, King Cal brings to life a determined and talented young man who starts with little, aims to earn a little more and ultimately has to decide whether success, or even clinging to his dream, is worth the sacrifice.
