Deep Eddy by Paul Koyak, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

It's the summer of 1966 in Chicago, Illinois and Zip's Super Service is buzzing on a hectic Saturday, but one employee is daydreaming of bigger things while his colleagues rush to work. Meet Eddy Pasko as he makes his way through life in Chicago, surrounded by a rowdy and funny group of local characters. He eventually finds his path that leads him to a life of good fortune and great friends. Lots of kids work in gas stations, but few get chosen to work at Zip's. Not only does Zip run a first-class operation, but he looks out for his guys as their guardian and mentor. Young Eddy Pasko doesn't look forward to leaving Zip's after graduating high school to attend DePaul University, but he knows this experience will always be an integral part of Eddy's world. Deep Eddy follows Eddy's life, his obsessions, triumphs, and his sadness. He dreams of being self-employed and of running a successful business. And, unlike most in his age group, Eddy has little interest in sowing wild oats; he is consumed by finding the right girl. More than a love story, this is a tale of motivation, determination, faith, and success of a young Chicagoan building a life. | Deep Eddy by Paul Koyak, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
