Overview
In Boomtown Reflections - Volume 2, Mark A. Gregg delivers an inciteful and exciting look at the newlywed teen's foray into the infamous boomtown of Rock Springs, Wyoming in 1977. This same year the venerable news program, "60 minutes" did an expose' on life "in the old west boom town of Rock Springs." It was replete with murder, drugs, prostitution, and corruption. The Gregg's extraordinary experience in this chaotic city provides a unique view of pursuing his dream of a stable future for the young couple and their new baby girl during this turbulent and troubled era. The young family is faced with enormous challenges-a rough new environment, medical issues, financial strain, all while overcoming external pressures, doubts, and fears. This powerful tale of perseverance chronicles a young man's struggle to carve out a better life for his family in a harsh, unforgiving world. Against all odds, he confronts failure, triumph, and the weight of responsibility, discovering along the way that true strength comes from resilience and hope in even the darkest times. This second installment of the Boom Town Reflections series begins the Gregg's extensive trek into small towns that were extraordinarily impacted by overnight, rampant growth brought about by the developing energy industry.
