The Weaving of Harold Jenkins

By Willard McKay

The first reader said. "We continue to marvel at how the warps and wefts of our individual lives weave into a rich and varied tapestry. I enjoyed this odyssey of discovery, Harold still has far to go and much to learn, as do all of us." Ch. 28 refers to a 19th century blanket: "In June Harold had preferred Aunt Gloria's newer Navajo blanket with a border. But the events of, ('1958, before college) led him now to understand and prefer her well-used, unbordered one. Gloria realized this and gave it to him. 'I remember the off-white walls in the dorm room...I'll hang it on one of them.'" Coming of age, ancestry, work, war, love, youth and more...for a graduate, perhaps for parent or grandparent to see why a young person is not following their "well meant expectations". Book club members would probably enjoy posing questions to each other while reading its chapters, some of which have interesting notes at their ends.
