The Story Of Danny Dunn

 Note: The outer edges of this book have heavy age spots.  On the other hand, the pages are clean and easy to read.  I'm putting it in the bargain bin at only $6.95.

In the wake of the Great Depression, opportunities for working-class boys were scarce. However, at just eighteen, Danny Dunn stands out with his intelligence, good looks, athletic prowess, and easy charm. His parents run The Hero, a popular neighborhood pub, and Danny is a local favorite. But Danny's luck takes a sharp turn when he enlists for war, returning home physically broken to a life irrevocably altered.

With the support of Helen, a strong, intelligent woman who becomes his wife, Danny strives to rebuild his life. His journey is marked by personal demons and shaped by compassion, corruption, love, and power, further enriched by the birth of his twin daughters, Sam and Gabby. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Australian pubs and politics, "The Story of Danny Dunn" is an Australian family saga that spans three generations. This compelling tale of love, ambition, and the destructive power of obsession unfolds during a time of significant change in Australia's history.
