His Name Was Amy Mable

Book excerpt: Take a trip down memory lane and revel in the adventures of "little Raz", a child of the depression. For the young reader it is a chance to live history through the eyes of a child struggling with little Raz as he gets into and out of "situations". For the young reader it imparts knowledge of living in a world without electricity. The teen-ager will react to the frustrations and emotions of a young boy living poor, working hard and forced to accept the responsibilities of adulthood at an early age. The older reader will recall with nostalgia, a gentler world of yesteryear. Do you recall memories of walking down a country road with the smell of new mown hay and honeysuckle wafting on the breezes? It recalls the privations and hardships of a great depression and a world at war. It recalls the window flags with their white stars representing young Americans away from home on foreign battlefields, while their country was reeling under the burden of wartime rationing? Every incident in "Amy Mable" is true. It was experienced by the author in a long and exciting life. Treat yourself to a cup of nostalgia.
