The main story features Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in "That's My Boy," which includes a subplot involving a submarine command storyline with William Holden and Nancy Olson. A second story depicts a film production romance involving Junior Jackson, who falls for a woman named Terry while on a college campus; after initial reluctance due to his pride, Junior eventually admits his feelings, though the story ends with him confessing to a friend that he remains stuck on Terry despite telling himself otherwise.
Commander Samuel White resigned from the Navy to escape the guilt haunting him since World War II—the day he ordered the submarine Tiger Shark to dive, leaving Captain Joshua Rice behind on deck. Now peacetime has him stuck in a desk job, his marriage to Carol strained by his brooding silence and sudden outbursts, while Chief Torpedoman Boyer's resentful stare serves as a daily reminder of that fateful choice. When the Tiger Shark is recommissioned and a crisis at the shipyard forces White to confront what duty really means, he must decide whether to walk away or answer his country's call once more.
Susan Hayward takes readers behind the scenes of the production of David and Bathsheba, where she starred opposite Gregory Peck, sharing a colorful parade of on-set mishaps that made filming anything but routine. From unexpected wildlife interruptions to technical challenges and the famous bath scene that drew crowds of eager photographers, she reveals the humor and ingenuity required to bring the biblical epic to life. It's a warm, insider's look at the controlled chaos of Hollywood filmmaking in 1951.
Junior Jackson dreams of becoming a veterinarian, but his ex-football-hero father "Jarring Jack" has other plans—he'll finance a gifted player's college education only if Junior makes the team and earns his letter. When Junior arrives at Ridgeville College, he meets his new roommate Bill Baker, the very star athlete his father recruited, and soon crosses paths with Terry Howard, a spirited college rep selling sportswear to pay her tuition. As Junior fumbles his way through football practice and falls hard for Terry, he'll have to discover what kind of hero he's meant to be.
