In One of Five, James F. shares a deeply personal chronicle of growing up as the youngest in a family of five boys, building a life rooted in love, responsibility, and hard work. His narrative takes readers from the rolling mountains of Virginia to the Florida coast, recounting early marriage to Martha, career milestones, building their home from the ground up, and navigating both joyful and difficult seasons of life.
Alongside stories of workplace changes, military service in the family, and treasured vacations, James reflects on the challenges of caring for elderly relatives, the loss of loved ones, and the enduring bonds that hold a family together. This memoir is not only a window into one man's life, but also a tribute to an era when dedication, sacrifice, and loyalty defined the measure of a person.
