The Golden Boy

Set in a high school reunion where everyone is nervously hoping to reestablish themselves while reliving the past, a guest at the hotel mistakenly meanders into the crowd and is mistaken for the former star athlete and big man on campus—The Golden Boy. A meek and lonely man in his real life, Arthur Dingle decides to assume the new persona thrust on him and lives his dream for an exhilarating but short time.

Share

When shy, feebish Arthur Dingle—the butt of every joke at McDuff Manufacturing—is sent to a “Productivity Seminar,” his future looks bleak…until he is accidentally mistaken for Matt Golden at a high school reunion taking place at the same hotel. 

Matt—the Golden Boy—was the undisputed BMOC and star quarterback and Arthur makes a fateful decision to simply assume his persona and live the life he had always dreamed of. That is until his worlds begin to collide. When reality starts to set in and the real Matt comes barreling in his direction, Arthur has to figure out how to keep his new, and infinitely better, reality from crashing in on him.

If you have either enjoyed—or endured—a high school reunion, this story will have you laughing out loud and sending it to your classmates.

    “The reunion scenes were hilarious and loved the ‘family’ at Maplewood Manor. I always enjoy seeing the ‘little’ guy come out on top.”

  6. Annie F. –

    “Clever story-telling, memorable characters, sustained suspense: Jerry Jamison’s witty pen gives us another rollicking and entertaining tale.”
