This is a collection of eighteen personal accounts of growing up in an Italian-American home in an inter-city neighbourhood of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. Accompanying the text are over fifty pictures of an historical era many hold close to their hearts and consider the most precious of their lives. The author, a gifted storyteller, writes about topics that range from his parents' roots in Italy to life in Catholic schools; from how teenagers dressed when he was a boy to how US military personnel are honoured in American cemeteries throughout the world. The love of family, regard for old friends and classmates, and the importance of 'roots' are threads that are woven throughout the book. This is a book for the young -- so they can learn. And for the old -- so they can remember.
