520    $a "What was it like to grow up in a small Midwestern town in the middle of the 20th Century? Idyllic in many ways writes this author. This book is a remembrance and a tribute to an American way of life beginning to fade in the face of advancing technology and the inevitable march of history. A small town like Winterset, Iowa, is a time capsule for its golden era in the mid-twentieth century, a treasury of Americana which not everyone experienced directly but which inhabits a corner of every American's imagination. The author shares his hometown with us through the eyes of a school boy who saw it in the glorious full color of childhood innocence, but who at the same time could not avoid the gray skies of puberty and of never quite feeling like just one of the boys. Gradually he began to suspect that he was actually one of the "boys who hadn't figured out how to appreciate girls as much as the script called for." Whether this tale makes you wish you too had grown up in a place like Winterset, or leaves you grateful you didn't, you'll get a new perspective on what it was like, and why anyone who did would never disown his hometown."--Back cover.
