Before technology swept away society’s 19th century ways, a blonde-haired, tongue-tied Appalachian boy tries to make sense of a hard-to-explain world. The mysteries of girls. The trials of school. The safety of family. The confusion of church. The cold facts of death.
These are the memories of a boy navigating his way through his first kiss, a paddling from a body building teacher, a runaway wagon, a fist fight, an encounter with the police, and a coffin he never wanted to visit. These nostalgic memories, woven together in humorous and poignant stories, point back to a simpler time, while encouraging you to think through your own meaningful memories, which have formed you into the person you are today.
