The Fulton Parks Scholarship Fund L G Siller

Fulton Parks, IV has grown up in privilege, but feels imprisoned in what he calls "The Big House." His dreams of escape are dashed when he is "sentenced" to a prestigious university by his domineering father. Reluctantly, he leaves his beloved, but eccentric aunt and his wayward girlfriend. Even as his own world spins out of control Fulton tries to save the women in his life and ultimately is brought to a reckoning. Set in the urban sprawl of Houston in the late 1970's, Fulton's story is an irreverent and suspenseful journey filled with an odd group of misfits who help him overcome his personal demons. Funny and sad, The Fulton Parks Scholarship Fund unravels the lies of the Parks family and shows us how letting go of our own family myths can set us free.
