Publisher's Synopsis
This is a little boy's true story of growing up as part of a large family, in the 1950's, 60's deep south. You will read of his misdeeds, fortunes and relationships. Hopefully, you will find this book to be funny but, also at times, quite sad. Nostalgia plays a key role in these events, including prejudice, change and a growing understanding of the south and the author's place in it. It's the story about childhood friends, baseball, family pets, heroes, struggling parents, numerous siblings and a close extended family called the Brookses. If from reading this, you gain one smile, or perhaps a faint tear, then these writings have been successful. Thank you for your consideration. May your interest be piqued.
