Farm Tough

Sean was a skinny 12-year-old who grew up “farm tough” living on C Street in Yuba City, California, on the Feather River, which defined the town. He viewed life as an adventure and played it like a competitive game. Ryan was from a privileged family where he wanted for nothing and spent the summer with his protective grandparents. The two boys, from different worlds, meet by chance. Events during the summer of 1955 on the farms, and ultimately on the river, especially their encounters with the serial killer Juan Corona, welded the two of them together as lifelong friends. Together with other members of the C Street gang, the adversities they encountered that summer molded each boy into stronger and better men.
