When he was offered a position as Assistant Innkeeper at the soon-to- open Holiday Lodge in Bottsburg, PA, Jesse Dellerose thought he had it made. Since a successful career in hotel management was exactly what he had envisioned for his future, Jesse accepted the job without a moment’s hesitation. He packed up his Volkswagen Beetle, said goodbye to his life in Johnstown, and headed east. However, upon arriving for work in Bottsburg that April in 1966, Jesse got thrown a curve ball that derailed his plans, leaving him both unemployed and homeless.
Stranded in a strange town, he didn’t know what he was going to do until chance introduced Jesse to a charismatic young woman who seemed to have all the answers. Under the wing of Darla DeLucia, Jesse soon found himself sheltered and working with an unconventional cast of characters whose activities were suspect, if not downright criminal. Now, as he experienced the world in ways that challenged his scruples and beliefs, Jesse was forced to make hard choices that would alter the course of his life — that is, if he survived that fateful year.
