Blurb: 
Step into the powerhouse life of Bull Meecham. He"s all Marine --- fighter pilot, king of the clouds, and absolute ruler of his family. Lillian is his wife -- beautiful, southern-bred, with a core of velvet steel. Without her cool head, her kids would be in real trouble. Ben is the oldest, a born athlete whose best never satisfies the big man. Ben"s got to stand up, even fight back, against a father who doesn"t give in -- not to his men, not to his wife, and certainly not to his son. Bull Meecham is undoubtedly Pat Conroy"s most explosive character -- a man you should hate, but a man you will love. cc
