Synopsis

Back Yonder is not fancy. It is like a hand-sewn quilt. It has taken much time and effort. What you see is what you get. The tales are original and have some truth, even though I have added some exaggeration and fiction. Ben Franklin said no one would ever read history unless fiction was added.
