Tales From a Mid-Century Boy Growing Up in Michigan - E-book - ePub

Short stories, poems, and narratives mostly about a ten- to sixteen-year-old boy growing up in Durand, Michigan, a small mid-western town during the 1950s, and summers spent at the family cottage on Tawas Point in "up north" Michigan, at a time when kids were free from the fear that dominates the world we live in today compared to the ultimate freedom kids had during mid-century America. The freedom to roam far and wide on bicycles seeking "pick up" games of sports, fishing, and exploring the world of nature all day.
Every day. With one requirement: Be home in time for dinner. The boy in Tales From a Mid-Century Boy shows readers what it was like growing up in Mid-Century America. It acknowledges how lucky we were to have been a kid growing up in America during the golden years, 1950-1965.
