Growing Up Wild: Short Stories: Coming of Age in Small Town Midwest($13.99Value)

Description

Blowing up rocks with dynamite? A six-year-old’s road trip to the lake alone? The agonizing angst of surviving a football season gone completely wrong? The stories in this collection invoke memories of a hilarious, poverty-stricken, but ultimately comic childhood growing up in small town Minnesota. It was a life spent roaming this land of verdant hills and blue lakes with a band of mischievous friends whose idea of property was... communal. That time is gone, but these stories—mostly derived from that period—are written with humor and without much nostalgia. They are written with a light touch, but they were not written lightly. This is a powerful, stark, poignant, and just plain funny collection. If you love small-town American humor mixed with raw, authentic coming-of-age stories, grab Growing Up Wild today and start reading!
