In American Hill, the third installment in Jason Hill's penultimate Social Hill Series, Tony--the irascible homeless veteran, father, and struggling author, two years after the events of Vol. 1--has come to enjoy a nice respite from his troubles in New Jersey, far from the legal problems of San Antonio, TX. And he's found love and his biggest fan in Danusha, his Polish friend and unlikely romantic partner. The time is 2017: the economy is good, the polar ice caps are melting, and a trillion-dollar deficit coincides with a boost in consumer confidence. Nevertheless, Tony Hill feels in good shape, ready to enjoy his freedom at last--until his insufferable ex, Darlene - who now raises his estranged kids along with her live-in boyfriend, falls into trouble, and it's up to Tony - and an unexpected windfall--to come flying to the rescue. New places and forward growth populate these scenes from Tony's middle age as he continues, in his own unique zigzagging fashion, to chase the ultimate rainbow.
