Thanks for your kind comment.B Creech wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 08:30 Excellent review! The 50s-60s were my era. The book sounds like a beautiful compilation of stories I am sure would bring back many memories from my childhood years. You are right that we don't see family times now as we did then. It was a much simpler time, and I am sure the stories in this book will resonate with many who read it! Thanks for the excellent recommendation!

Thank you, Stephanie!Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 08:35 I love these types of memoirs; short snippets of the author's life. It sounds like the author used humor to describe what went on in his family life in the 50s and 60s. Thanks for the wonderful review!

Thanks for your comment.skindrukas wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 08:36 I like memoirs but never read it as short stories. It would be interesting to try since the review speaks so well about this book.

Thank you.vermontelf wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 08:42 I enjoyed the anecdotal style of this writing. The quick descriptions in each chapter make for a quick read, but the vibrant descriptions make it easy to see the scene, but also feel it.

Thank you, Emy.Emy Katherine wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 08:56 A collection of 27 stories filled with humor and revolving around the themes of family devotion, faith, and community. It is also well edited. Glad you enjoyed it, but I will pass on this one as I don't read memoirs. Thank you for the detailed review, Cecilia!

That is an excellent point.Thanks for your comment.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 09:36 This sounds like really heartwarming and emotional book. I find it exceptional that the author chose to write about "happy memories that he doesn't want to forget". Usually, we are filled with negative memories and things that left us with scars. We all need to remember the happier times. Great review!!
