'Growing Up Kent' takes a humorous look as a young family navigates coming of age in Indiana during the 1980s and early 90s. From stories about the delicacies of the hand-me-down cycle, to the daily trips aboard the school bus, Growing Up Kent captures what it was like for the four boys growing up in the Kent Household. While the stories are specific to the Kent family, any parent, or child, or living human being that knows how to read will find the stories extremely relatable as most of us experienced some of the same forms of ridiculousness growing up. On the cover of the book, we see the family posing for a quick photo op prior to their Sunday visit to church. The mother smiles as she looks towards the camera, completely oblivious to the fact that the father, who stands next to her with his sly grin, has put her little darling boys up to several pranks. The child to the far right has hiked his pants up as high as they possibly could go, his hand slid into his pocket to keep them at the optimum height for the picture. The child directly in front of mother has turned his pockets out, to signify that he is flat out, dead-broke. The child dressed in the flannel, business-casual shirt, is in on the joke and can no longer hold it together so he begins laughing as the photo is taken. The youngest child, the one with the bowtie is as lost as the mother, so he laughs, mostly because everyone else is. Three weeks later, when the mother takes the film to the local Keltsch Drug Store to get the film developed, she discovers her entire family has sold her out for a cheap laugh, such is life in the Kent household. This book has been read by tens of people worldwide and continues to please those tens of individuals that have experienced it. In time, the reader will develop a fine appreciation for the stories related in this book, as they most likely have lived some similar experiences in their households either growing up, or raising children of their own.
