Young Eric Malone
Author: Ed Mahoney
Publisher: Hillcrest Publishing Group
ISBN: 1634138457
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
"What was it like to grow up in New England of decades ago? How did Eric cope with the adventures and anxieties of boyhood and then with the challenges of high school and college life?How did Eric choose his friends, hide or face his mistakes, and justify his evasions? What happened with the debater's talent that he pursued without quite understanding it? This fictional memoir of fourteen chronological stories takes the reader through a simpler, yet complex enough era when ethnic and religious changes ruffled established values. What should he do about a rock-throwing rival, the meaning of "forever," friends whose cultures clashed, and girls who were a mystery and a dilemma? What to say and not say to parents, teachers, and to all those nuns/priests/brothers who understood but didn't exactly?" All the ingredients for happiness are at hand," Eric imagined a college classmate telling him, but putting those ingredients together was like trying to figure out where Catholicism was going after Vatican II or why exactly the U.S. Was in Vietnam and where that policy would lead."--Author's website.

Voices from the Sitka, Alaska Wordsmith
Author: Martin R. Strand
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450269192
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The editor, Ken Smith, has been involved socially, politically, culturally, economically and spiritually in the life of Alaska for over sixty years. He has been Martins friend for this same period of time. Martin, who physically passed away soon after deciding to write these books, had great expectations for this trilogy. It is our hope that we have at least partially fulfilled those expectations. Martin R. Strand Sr. is a unique transitional person between Tlingit culture and Caucasian culture within the State of Alaska, not just in the past but also in the present. As you read the various selections in the trilogy you will gain an accurate understanding of this personality who was forever seeking to understand other persons, the natural habitat in which he was raised, and the cultural nuances that he received from his grandparents only to be passed on to his grandchildren and others. He is proud but at the same time loving. He is curious but also satisfied with little. Above all else he wants to make a difference and through these writings he does.
