Strawberry Lane

In 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!"
