"Reichold Street" by Michigan Writer Ronald L. Herron Awarded Five Star Review

May 23, 2012 - PRLog -- "Reichold Street" is an extremely moving account of a group of boys who come of age during the turbulent 1960's. It begins as a place where young boys played ball in the street but in its later years it was riddled with suicide, thugs and crime.

The character of Albert Parker and his family begin to give Reichold Street a run for their money with family issues of mental and physical abuse. As Albert becomes labeled as the bad bully here you will surprisingly see his character revealed later on as a product of his abusive father and the environment. He was a boy with a destiny already marked for failure. So many vivid details are portrayed, as these boys experience the pleasures and pains of adolescence. Some walked away from this neighborhood to fame, some to defeat, and some never survived the haunting essence of this place they called Reichold Street.

Ronald L. Herron is a master of the art of character development. You can hear each voice clearly as they relate their experiences on Reichold Street. This work of fiction brings to life some of the real tragedies that occurred during that time. I believe this book will appeal to a vast audience. This is a great piece of literature for young boys and would be a wonderful addition to any school library.
