Description
by Christopher Lake (Author)
What if the road to becoming yourself started in plaid polyester pants? Growing Up in Polyester is a funny, tender coming-of-age memoir about awkward adolescence, family love, and the slow, uneven journey from innocence to self-awareness. Christopher Lake looks back on a childhood shaped by freedom, embarrassment, quiet loyalty, and the people who carried him through it: a steady grandfather in plaid golf pants, a free-living mother who believed life itself was the lesson, and a younger sister who decided her brother would not be picked on anymore. Set against the rhythms of small-town life, golf courses, road trips, first crushes, locker-room panic, and a move that offered an unexpected fresh start, these stories capture the humor and vulnerability of growing up before anyone explained the rules. Warm, reflective, and sharply observed, Growing Up in Polyester is about finding grace in awkwardness and realizing that the boy you used to be was never the enemy- he was the beginning.
