A small-town childhood remembered in short essays

Richard J. Morgan gathers personal recollections from his years in the American heartland during the 1960s, following the span from first grade through middle school. The book is organized as short essays rather than a single continuous life story, using everyday experiences—bike rides, games, fishing, travel, and family life—to build a portrait of small-town childhood in that decade. Its autobiographical focus stays close to the routines and milestones of growing up, with individual pieces ranging from humorous memories to more reflective ones.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in memoirs of mid-century American childhood
  • Those who enjoy short-form personal essays and everyday-life recollections
  • Adults curious about 1960s small-town family and community life

Book overview

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.
