His book paints a bright picture of what life was like growing up during this era.Reading this compilation of stories feels like sitting in the front room with his family after Sunday dinner. Someone shares a memory about growing up, then the next person adds to it or starts his own - about the hardships, fun, escapades, or trouble they got into. They tell on each other in jest and good humor and make you ponder, laugh and cry. But whatever they make you feel, you will definitely feel you know and love this family."
