More DescriptionIn a unique style that combines poetic prose, pathos, and humor, this entrancing mosaic of childhood memories lyrically details the songs and sorrows, the triumphs and travails, of a boy and his identical twin brother living through the 30s and 40s on a rural homestead in South Texas. With the constant support of their loving mother, the boys struggle amid primitive living conditions to meet farm-related responsibilities and educational objectives imposed upon them by their caring but stern, disciplinarian father. The author recounts his dearest and most anguished memories as a series of events, experiences, and observations that tell the story of his life from birth to leaving home at the age of nineteen.Vicariously return to your own delightful childhood years--those long-ago days when life was safe and sacred, slow and serene, and virtually free from drugs, depravity, and demonized crime. Find yourself saying, "Yes! That is exactly what I thought and how I felt when I was a child!"
