Book Cover & Preview Text
The dining car of the New York Central jerked violently back and forth through the frigid November early morning air, threatening to jump the tracks at any moment. For a skinny, insecure kid of almost fifteen who had run from adversity most of his life, I was strangely unafraid. "Numb" was more like it.The train, like my life, was heading in the wrong direction, ...toward Syracuse and the Manlius Millitary Academy....where Cadet Sgt. Rozko waited for me.

About the Book
Against a background of Buffalo, Hollywood, and Miami, “Getting out of Buffalo” is a humorous, sometimes racy young man’s trip through a jungle of neurotic parents, dangerous classmates, and occasionally willing young ladies. With equal injections of curiosity and frankness, Lee Marsh also examines his personal experiences with religious intolerance and a testy father-son relationship, proving in the end that even adversity has its funny side.
