About this title

Synopsis

Another delightful book by noted Indiana author Wendell Trogdon. His words recall memories of time when residents found the hills, hollows, woodlands provided a place to cherish life at a serene pace. It was a time when families felt close to nature and to the people around them, attended church gatherings, trip to the county seat at Bedford, basketball and baseball games, movies shown by merchants on sheets draped aside a frame building. Step back in time and walk in the shoes of a farm boy growing up in Southern Indiana.

Review

Wendell takes us all to his stage at Heltonville, Indiana, and introduced us to a lovable cast of characters. He has a gift for making them into persons all of us once knew. Knowing them makes us better and helps us recapture the whimsy, integrity and color of an age that exists mostly in our memories. --Harvey Jacobs, former editor of a metropolictan newspaper, journalist and editor.
