“FOR ME, Noble Chaos is first and foremost an exquisitely written novel about coming of age and first love. It’s a breath-taking and heart-breaking (in a good way) journey back to being nineteen again and re-experiencing how wise and foolish we all are during those years. It’s also a superbly written historical fiction novel about what life was like on many college campuses during the turbulent anti-Vietnam war years of 1969-1970. In 258 pages, you can relive a defining era in your own life, and a defining moment in our country’s life. It’s a read you won’t want to put down.”
