F Street In Love is an erotic "magic" memoir chronicling Clyde Desmond's quest for love and success as a Baby Boomer in America from the early seventies to the late eighties, told through 278 stories. His journey spans from suburban Connecticut to New York City, Boston, and Washington, DC, while uncovering his family's roots, including his mother's lineage from England in 1635 and his great-grandfather's escape from Ireland during the Potato Famine. The narrative intertwines his parents' lives with his romantic experiences, detailing his relationships with three women—a model, a medical school applicant, and a law student—while actively supporting their ambitions. Clyde embarks on a three-month European adventure, forming a love connection in Italy and exploring iconic sites like the Sistine Chapel and the Louvre. His travels across America, from the Atlantic seaboard to California, encompass significant cultural moments, including Woodstock and the evolution of music from Rock 'n Roll to Punk Rock. The memoir also touches on 60s idealism, the Vietnam War, and personal struggles with racism through his friendship with Beverly Anne Johnson. Clyde's interactions with the Gay community, including his experience as a waiter in a Boston restaurant, add depth to his story. The tales evoke laughter, tears, and contemplation.
