If you grew up in the Midwest, you will find something in this book for you. It will pull up memories for you to enjoy. You will be reminded of your birth, your family experiences, your friends and teachers from grade and high school, holidays such as Halloween and Christmas, mushroom season, near death experiences, 4-H, the impact of neighbors, Native Americans, county and state fairs, your transitional moments, dating and romance, small town shopping, ethnic and country cooking, sledding, winter storms, and spirituality to name a few things.
You will learn or be reminded about the impact of WW II, the birth of nuclear power, and the presence of the KKK in Iowa.
Life has changed since the '50 and '60s, but we have much to learn and emulate from those years when the family was the center of life.
You will laugh and cry as you read about the author’s pilgrimage to adulthood.
