Synopsis

Step into a lyrical walk through memory, where the call of home outshines the rush of the city.

This collection traces a traveler’s return to a boyhood town, blending longing, family ties, and old streets with vivid rural scenes. A quiet, hopeful voice invites you to relive summers and reunions, where every detail—laughter, meals, and familiar places—speaks to the pull of home.

The verses move from crowded streets and bright city sounds to the porch, kitchen, and hilltop farmhouse of a cherished past. Through portraits of parents, old friends, and the landscape itself, the book explores how memory can heal, preserve, and sometimes gently haunt. It celebrates simple joys—the grace at table, the welcome of kin, the charm of familiar work and places—while acknowledging the ache of time gone by.
  • A trip from sunlit sidewalks to sunlit orchards, mills, and white-washed rooms.
  • Vivid scenes of family dinners, old friends, and the strong pull of returning home.
  • Reflections on youth, change, and the enduring comfort of familiar places.
  • A tone that blends nostalgia with a gentle, hopeful reverie.
Ideal for readers who treasure nostalgia, folk-lit verse, and stories of homecoming, memory, and family bonds.
