From the author of Welcome to Idyll Bay comes a poignant and amusing collection of autobiographic short stories and poetry. Set mostly in Virginia of the 1970's and 80's, they really could be any place and any decade. They are so relatable for the GenX generation that anyone over the age of fifty could see themselves in these pages. But younger generations may also see themselves or their parents because these pieces are so relatable. And amusing. The innocence of childhood clearly comes through, especially in the first story. You can't help but to giggle at some of the childish musings. It is also thought provoking and a little dark at times. The author wants you to feel the actions, the emotions of the characters. It is through feeling for others that we start to understand, and understanding is paramount to living a full life. Understanding and love. Without these, life just isn't worth living.
