Synopsis

If you liked Mark Twain's adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn you'll love the humorous, oftentimes exciting escapades of Jack Zorn and his two younger brothers growing up on their grandfather's farm in rural Thomaston, Georgia. It was during the depression years of the 1930's. Money was scarce. The Zorn boys were poor, but they didn't know it. Besides, everyone else was too. Later the author opens up his heart, and candidly reveals a close relationship to a father, plagued all of his life by an addiction to alcohol, and a grandson who provided joy, inspiration and humor.

Présentation de l'éditeur

NEVER SAY CALF ROPE is the intimate story of the strong bond that exists between an adoring grandfather and his emulating grandson. At age 82, the author takes a backward look at his life, and in so doing, discovers that certain individuals, unknowingly, had a profound impact on him, helping form the character of the man he ultimately became. As a belated expression of gratitude for their positive influence, he pays tribute to each of them. He urges his grandson to consider their good qualities and adopt some of them as he, day-by-day, builds his own character.
