Chapter 1 - Fleeing the Coop

Billy Hackett was never looking for excitement or adventure, always trying to keep a low profile, drifting and bumbling along, somehow extraordinary things kept being put in his way.

His journey started in the "Fabulous Fifties", and maybe that was why the carefree wandering began. Some people say that we learn from our mistakes and that failure is a part of the growth process. Well Billy got to know a lot about that. His story is not just about finding one's way, but somehow gleaning the gems of life that are always there for all of us to find.
