Customer Reviews

A true story with some real pathos.

My Times with the Sisters is a true story written well and with some pathos. How many boys go to the front door, open it, see a woman there, run back inside to tell his sisters, that a lady is at the door, only to find out it is his own mother, who has been long gone? A worthwhile read.

"My Times with the Sisters" is a literary delight.

Reading, "My Times with the Sisters and Other Events" by Franklyn E. Dailey, Jr., was a delight from start to finish. I cried and laughed as I traveled with the author as he described his childhood in upper New York state during the Prohibition and Depression eras. I rejoiced in his childhood struggles and growth as I cherish watching my 5 year old son grow. My heart filled with the patriotism that I share with the author. My love for my father who is the author's peer, brimmed with every line as I came appreciate the men of that generation even more. I am buying several copies to give to friends, family and my local library.

An afternoon with My Times With The Sisters And Other Events

This is a real pleasure for me: I sat down one afternoon with My Times With The Sisters And Other Events. It turned out to be one of the most pleasurable times I've had in years! I read it in one sitting, and every single page brought me memories, or gave me a chuckle. I was brought up a city boy, but far enough from "downtown" to have been able to roam the hills and dales, looking for trapdoor spiders and the like. Just now I sat back and, looking at the book, thought of some of the observations - gave me a warm glow!
