About this listen
Where does one go from up? Adam’s TV show is ending, and he discovers his fame as Bud Thomas makes it difficult for him to find acting jobs. To make matters worse, his boyfriend, Cliff, almost immediately lands a role. Adam is accustomed to being mobbed by fans, hounded by reporters for interviews, and receiving invitations to the biggest events in Hollywood. Overnight, it all begins to slip away, and Adam struggles to find his place in the entertainment industry that’s forgotten him overnight.

Story
Adam was a TV star and teen idol in the 1950s and ‘60s. Everyone expected him to become a movie star, but his career fizzled out after the end of his series. In 2021, he’s an old man in his 80s, giving VIP tours at Paramount Studios, when something extraordinary happens and he finds himself in a place that shouldn’t exist. His situation becomes increasingly bizarre, and when he finally returns home, it’s no longer 2021, but 1961, the year his series ended. Adam Bluestone has a unique opportunity to live his life again.

Story
The Soccer Field Is Empty is the story of teen love, steamy romance, friendship, loyalty, understanding, and ancient prejudice. Here is a tale that breaks the stereotypes of the ignorant and peers into the soul of two boys who want what we all want; to love and be loved. The story of Mark and Taylor, two 16-year-old high school athletes, is a tale of love and happiness torn asunder by a world that understands too late.

Reminiscent of television of yesterday
I enjoyed this audio book very much! I was born in 1955 so I remember the TV shows featured in this story. I enjoyed growing up, watching them on a weekly basis with my family. The story within these stories was heartwarming and seemed very real. It drew me into the character's world. Jerry Bradshaw did an amazing job with the different characters. The different nuances he used for the voices made it seem like there were actual individuals talking back and forth! This book is highly recommended!
