Seven fathers raising sons in the 1960s and 70s, facing the challenges of changing times and attitudes as the suburbs encroach on small-town life.

A cross between Iron John and How to Make An American Quilt, The Outhouse Gang is an insightful look at what it meant to be a father, and a son, in those tumultuous times.
