Fiction. "There are 14 wonderful stories in all...written with just the right touch of lightness and compassion. All the pains of growing up are presented. In `First Kiss,' Schrader writes, `Once a week we'd have a dance, though at first most of us were too shy to do much dancing. It was more exciting to think about girls than to be with them and possible makes fools of ourselves.' An outstanding compendium" --Booklist.

"Schrader has a fine touch in his character development and in his descriptions of time.... The collection is an affirmation of the human spirit."

"Steven Schrader's assemblage of a mosaic of his brief memory snapshots adds up to a poignant, powerful, and funny book about growing up in New York City." -- Isaiah Sheffer
