Corey Jameson, a popular high school senior, star athlete, with a baseball scholarship at San Diego State, is leading an idyllic life in the quiet, conservative community of San Marino. His world is turned upside down with the possibility of a military draft during the time of Vietnam. Corey’s only journey outside his parents’ values, was his exposure to the pre-sixties, hippie precursor lifestyle of the California surfer, and his friendship and fascination with elderly neighbors, Hank and Millie Vincent. Corey comes of age trying to find his own values.He realizes the importance of Hank and Millie as mentors. At the same time, he is forced into being a mentor for Joey, a thirteen-year old street gamin, deserted by his father, and neglected by his mother. Corey enters in a journey of self-discovery whereby he learns that not all questions have satisfactory answers, and at times you must travel forward without the certainty of purpose.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Craig has always been passionate about baseball from when he first started playing as an eight-year old in Little League baseball in Pasadena, California.

While in college, he developed an alternative passion for surfing. The carefree lifestyle of a surfer during the turbulent sixties and the Vietnam war, pushed baseball aside as he not only doubted his baseball abilities, but began questioning the values of his parents’ generation.

Craig finished college and the surfing/hippie world Craig

had embraced became his surrogate for baseball. As time

passed, Craig’s love for baseball was rekindled leading to

his established career as a successful hitting consultant

and roving instructor.

Craig had always thought about being a writer. The anguish and passion of his college years led to a metamorphosis of his value system which he never satisfactorily understood.

He wrote Sun and Water in an attempt to not only put his own life’s journey in perspective, but to explain his generation’s cultural revolution of the sixties.

Incredibly moving. Read twice...Sun and Water is one of my favorite books. Incredibly moving and I learned a ton about the time the book took place, being a millennial. I ended up reading twice, was up on my seat with ups and downs. Life lessons, irony, and so much more through a fictional novel.

This is a great story of a young man in his search for morality and purpose in a rapidly changing social climate. The novel is a vivid portrayal of the trials and tribulations of the main character, Corey, and his group of counter-culture friends with some beautiful takeaways.

"...The pitch black of night was being pushed to the west as the rising tide of blue permeated from the eastern horizon." "Morning had broken". Craig Wallenbrock 's use of metaphor, analogy and beautiful flowing language is captivating. This is a story of man against man, man against self and man against environment but yet harmonious with all three. It is a well written story of a man looking at himself through three characters in his world while trying to find who is. I could not put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars coming of age story
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020
I really liked this book, I played baseball in high school and surfed the coast of California and Mexico. Growing up during the late '60s and early '70s with the Kennedy assassination, the Viet Nam conflict, the draft, going off to college, meeting girls and getting high was what that period of my life was all about and learning about life was captured pretty well in this book. I liked the stories about Hank mentoring Corey and Corey mentoring Joey.
