Growing up in the American heartland in the 60's was so much different from growing up today. This book takes you on a journey as the author goes from first grade up until middle school, spanning almost the entire decade. Consisting of a series of short essays about riding bikes, playing games, traveling, fishing, family life, and more, you will be taken back 60 years, to what small town life was back in the day. Some chapters bring laughter, some bring tears, some just tell a story. But they all will have you thinking, and looking back on your own childhood.
