Produktinformationen zu „How I Got This Way (ePub)“
How I Got This Way chronicles the true story of growing up in the 1950s on a
primitive farm. With very little knowledge of his own ancestors history, the author
was inspired to record his own life history so that future generations of his family
would understand How I Got This Way. He also felt that it was important to preserve
a record of what it was like to grow up in a rural primitive farm setting so that a
unique and important time in American history would not be lost forever.
The lessons he learned throughout his childhood infl uenced the man he became
through his years in the Navy and later as a Telephone Man. While some may feel
that the farm life experienced was cruel and unforgiving, he would say that it taught
him the values of hard work, responsibility, and a sense of ethics that provided great
strength of character that served him well throughout his life.
His story telling is mixed with humor and honesty as it uniquely describes his
childhood experiences through the tender perspective of a child. It is the story
of overcoming and loving life amid sometimes great diffi culties and trials. How
I Got This Way is a poignant story of a life that few will have the opportunity to
experience in the future.
