When We Were Kings: Sometimes Truth is Stranger than Fiction

By Ronald A. Fagan

Remember when everything was new? Every experience was exciting. Autobiographical in nature, a coming of age collection of short stories that make up a childhood into adulthood. Meant to be read cover to cover, but it is written so, and out of order so if a person has a moment, can turn to any page and enjoy an antidote, or storyline without losing your place. Primarily humor, but deals with mature themes, which can relate to many if not all. Goofy things that boys do, funny, but also the serious matters, mature themes, but with sensitivity. All stories are true, and cover mostly hilarious trouble three brothers can get into growing up poor in a trailer park, with nothing but time on their hands. And they can surely find it. Amazing where you find adventure, isn't it. It does address lightly on things such as addiction, prejudice, abuse, and grief . The book however is for entertainment, and I think you will find it overall a fun read. Most can relate, for themselves or someone they know. A roller coaster of stories, fun, real, and represents the fun of living and the discovery of just about anything. Just 3 young boys, trying to figure it out, and they make a lot of mistakes along the way. You'll have to read to understand, you will laugh, say, "oh my God " Certainly you will say, "I did that." Not with all, but you may have memories you have not visited in a while. I do hope you enjoy.
