An immersive experience of comradeship, family ties, charm, and irrepressible fondness for America's

Growing Up In The Valley: A Memoir by George R. Holmes (Professor at the University of South Carolina School Of Medicine) is the nonchalant catalogue of a childhood growing up the youngest of four brothers in an Irish immigrant family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a steel and coal-mining town crisscrossed with immigrants from a wide variety of origins. From the repercussions of World War II, to church, to coping with high school, Growing Up In The Valley paints an impressionable portrait of daily life half a century ago. An immersive experience of comradeship, family ties, charm, and irrepressible fondness for America's 40's and 50's.
