This is an eclectic mix of short reminiscences and daydreams of the future. The stories move from the author's brief memories of a bygone time, through his youth and early adulthood to his dreams and hopes for his family in the future. Let the author's imagination take you back to your own childhoodnot walking on the cracks in the pavements or crossing a puddle-strewn street without getting your feet wet. The book is in two distinct sections: the first section deals with the author's youth, and the second section brings the reader up to date and beyond.
