In "Lost Moon Summer" young Sammy Walters spends the dog days of summer dodging neighborhood bullies, trolling the deliverymen, indulging in endless mischief, and teaching his rowdy posse the art of making flame-throwing match guns. Equal parts idyllic and tumultuous, this period of Walter's life was never far from his thoughts in later years. Returning to the scene of his boyhood misadventures, Sam rekindles memories of simpler times and the magic summer he shared with his extended family and a handful of youthful delinquents.
