Ithaca
In a small town in California's San Joaquin Valley, 14-year-old Homer Macauley is regarded as the fastest and finest bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has seen. His brother moved to war, leaving Homer to appear after his brother, Ulysses, his sister and his widowed mother. And so it is that as spring turns to summer, 1942,'' Homer Macauley brings messages of romance, hope, pain... and death... to the decent folks of Ithaca. And then Homer Macauley will grapple with an individual particular message that will change him forever - from a boy into a person. Founded on Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Saroyan's 1943 book, The Human Comedy, ITHACA is your wartime story of the Homefront. It's the sting of departure, that the sweetness of life, a narrative about the exuberance of childhood and the modesty and utter goodness that lives in each and every one of the people.
