Growing Up Nerd is a collection of memories about a childhood that was spent in both the New York City suburb of Westchester County and at the New Jersey shore. It covers from about age 6 through the author's high school graduation in 1965. The stories range from lighthearted topics like collecting baseball cards, early TV, and sports to more serious ones such as how to make a way through the complexities of friendships and school while trying to find ones true self. The specifics might be unique to the writer, but anyone who was once young and na?ve will recognize them.
