An Adventurous Childhood: An African-American Coming of Age Story in New Bern, North Carolina

By Malcolm Elliott

For all those timid third generation teens who shed doubt on the childhood stories of their first generation relatives... Having grown up in eastern North Carolina, this memoir is a collection of real life short stories chronicling events in my life from birth through high school graduation. While my recollection was challenged in a few instances, the characters and incidents are real and about 97% accurate. I don't think kids grow up with much confidence, so in reading these stories, I hope you feel the apprehension, concern, confusion and indecision I experienced when trying to put them into words. If so, then it should be an enjoyable read.
