Synopsis
They say if you remember the sixties, you weren't really there. Tom Henderson was there and he remembers it all.
Born in the post-war dynamo of Detroit, Tom Henderson’s life began with a heart-wrenching twist: at just four years old, he was left at an orphanage by a family who simply "let him go". But that was only the beginning of a journey that would take him from the gritty streets of the Motor City to the high-stakes world of investigative journalism, professional sports, and the dark underbelly of the drug trade.
In this raw, often hilarious, and deeply personal memoir, Henderson "fesses up" to a life lived at full throttle. Follow his transition from a stressed-out Detroit Free Press sportswriter to a cocaine dealer delivering to Las Vegas high-rollers. Experience the adrenaline of the 1979 Rose Bowl, the "phantom touchdown," and the legendary wrath of Bo Schembechler.
A Boomer’s Tale is a kaleidoscopic journey through:
- The Golden Age of Detroit: Growing up in a Scottish immigrant neighborhood before the city’s decline.
- The Drug Years: A candid look at the frenetic 1980s drug culture among the Detroit media elite.
- Sports Legends: Personal encounters with icons like Gordie Howe, Sparky Anderson, and Bo Schembechler.
- True Crime: How a cold call from a New York agent turned a sportswriter into a chronicler of Michigan's most notorious crimes.
- Wild Florida Nights: Acid trips in Key West, smuggling hash oil, and surviving a "sneak thief" friend.
Whether he’s kayaking through dolphin feeding frenzies or uncovering the "worst case of railroading" in legal history, Henderson writes with the sharp eye of a veteran reporter and the soul of a man who has seen it all and lived to tell the tale.
