This book will take you back to a time when young boys got up early in the morning and did chores before getting ready for school; to a time when the height of entertainment consisted of enjoying the beauty of Mother Nature and in socializing with family and neighbors. This is a graphic and emotional story in the life of a young man who grew up in a small town in Wyoming during the late 1920's through the 1940's. Through the eyes of Jim Treece, you will live through the hard, and yet enjoyable, life of growing up in a small ranch and face the trials required to overcome both manmade and natural disasters. You will laugh with Jim as he shares his struggles in trying ride a horse, shoot a basketball, or find a way to show affection to a girl he has a crush on. You will cry with him as he experiences the tough loss of his father in a disaster he can describe but not explain. Finally, you will cheer with him as he overcomes all of these obstacles due to his unfailing ability to overlook the negatives that life threw at him, replacing them with warmth, passion, and desire. Life is about attitude and this is what propelled him to his later success as an Associate Professor in Sociology. With this book in your hands, you will carry with you the ability to live through a time and hour in our country that was very precious but in many ways no longer exists. Through Jim's writing, this way of life is kindled in our hearts once more. As we continue to blaze a path of technological advancement, are we subtly losing the culture and values we hold so dear? This book will prompt you to ponder that very question.
