Follow fifteen-year-old Gary and his gang, once again, through the streets of Lowell, Massachusetts in the 1970s. dinkweed 2 takes you back to a simpler, more innocent time, growing up in the city. Follow along as Gary and Mary navigate freshman year of high school.
This is another collection of funny, nostalgic, poignant short stories told by Gary and a few of the others from the gang.
As some of us find ourselves in middle age and still in complete surprise as to how we came this far, these wonderful, funny, and amazing short stories bring us back to a time in our lives that embody our youth, and the crazy things that we all did. Inside of each one of these great stories I remembered memories of my own youth. The memories of dear old dad with a bowl of radishes from his garden, a shaker of salt, and a Schlitz resonated with me. These stories about the shenanigans of the dinkweeds will make you chuckle and smile. Gary’s tear touched me to do the same. A wonderfully written book of stories that will find your heart and your funny bone and leave you wanting more.
