If you're a Baby Boomer, War Baby or just tantalized by the colorful 1950's, this book is for you. If you enjoy hearing about the idyllic days of that economically-robust period when kids were free to roam away from home on foot or bike, when mothers were always there to help with homework and made sure to have a bountiful supper on the table by 6 P.M., when going to town was an event for dressing up, when church was a huge part of the community fabric, when fish fries and ice cream socials were as ubiquitous as the old faithful Nash and Studebaker, then read this ... but not without an embroidered handkerchief. It will make you laugh and cry at the same time. At any age, this story captures the mind and soul. American's finest modern era is recaptured in this heartfelt novel, offered in poetic prose, taking you back to a simpler time when the middle class burgeoned happily after WWII and when all was right... or almost right... with the world.
