Berwyn Rules, is a double entendre, and it is not just about Berwyn. The entire book wrestles with the ambiguity of language and life. Yes, Berwyn is a physical location just west of Chicago, and what we are pointing to mostly is a state of mind, a perspective a belief system that is universal. Berwyn Rules, illuminates the extraordinary in the ordinary, it identifies, the exceptional in the mundane, and it celebrates the victories in the defeats. It doesn't so much answer question, as it looks at a multitude of beliefs, and questions the answers we hold as true. Some may say Berwyn Rules, is irreverent, maybe even shocking. OK, it is intended to first and foremost entertain, and entertain in the most powerful way, by making the reader, think, feel, laugh, and possibly cry. The book is about connection. Connection to a time, a belief, a place, and most of all a way of being that allows for creation, expression, love, challenge, belief, courage, and standing for what you know is right for you. Yes there is some nostalgia, and the nostalgia is not about what has gone before as much as it is about what is possible today and in the future. Enjoy, the stories, the thoughts the idea. Disagree, (there is a place to send comments near the end of the book) yell, scream, cheer, and celebrate, most importantly get out there and live, and get some on you. Thank you.

When Jesus arrives in Chicago with his family, he becomes a neighbor of Daniel and his family. The developing friendship between Daniel and Jesus changes Daniel's life drastically. Intrigued by Jesus' ability to achieve financial success on the neighborhood streets, Daniel spies on Jesus in an attempt to learn his cousin's secret to success. Since Jesus is an extremely handsome and charismatic Mexican who makes himself available to nightly street cruisers, realizing how he makes good money on the street should come as no surprise to anyone. Yet, Daniel is young and naïve when it comes to figuring out what Jesus' secret is. In time, Daniel idolizes Jesus and develops a strong desire to imitate his success. As Daniel realizes Jesus' method of achieving late-night success on 26th Street, Daniel falls into the business for himself. The two cousins bond by sharing one another's hidden secrets and successes.
