Description:
The author describes the unique life experiences of a child growing up in a small rural Appalachian community in Southern Ohio. The chapters humorously, yet seriously, describe various aspects of maturing in this culture during the mid twentieth century, (through the following topics: education, religion, food, pets, family, 4-H, prejudice, and work) from a youthful, yet historically accurate, perspective.
