Shoreline Child: On My Way from Here to Everywhere Else

Meer over het boek

This is a book of Shoreline stories. Fifty (or so) vignettes of life from a child's perspective between 1965 and 1982. They are about formative events, the little things that make us who we are. Each is its own anecdote or lesson of sorts, but taken together these stories formed who I am. Many people shared similar experiences and the acquaintance of the same people. Maybe you share some, too.A place may be enough to give us a similar experience as the next person. More often it is the people you encounter, either as individuals or types. Some people I knew on the Shoreline were pillars of their community. Others were just characters in the landscape. And then there was me, a child walking through on my way to everywhere else.
