Vince Cotter

Yunksters transports the reader into a bygone era when summer jobs were a ‘springboard’ to the future. It was also a time when three college workers decided to do the right thing and later seek redemption for the unintended consequences of their actions. Immersed into a roller coaster ‘cover-up’ which includes a suicide, a murder and the death of a worker, they try to set the record straight forty years later. ‘Ripping off the bandage’ from the past exposes the real motives of those who lived behind the facades of service, love and ambition.

With a gritty dialogue, and a touch of urban humor, Yunksters is chock full of authentic, relatable characters that bring the story to life. You will cheer for the underdogs, question the meaning of integrity and anguish for those that paid the price for ambition, power and love.
