17 is a biographical account of two years in the life, ages 16 and 17, of an Oklahoma boy starting out as a completely innocent youth and transforming into one of the wildest street running, vagabond traveling, drug using, crime committing, womanizing, crazy people imaginable. People who grew up in the 60s and 70s will recognize a lot of the activities and parts of life described, but few will have experienced them to the extent that the subject of this book did.
