In this, the prequel to Snail Mail Versus Email, France Bozeman recounts his boyhood in rural Georgia with much charm and humor, recalling a bygone day when food came from the garden and chores were the main source of entertainment. From the idyllic, halcyon days of childhood to the hardships of the Depression years and a wartime spent in the Army, it`s all here, evocatively captured for posterity, the record of one man`s youth and of a way of living long since passed.
