SPRING

Growing up was trickier than Ozzie and Harriet let on for a kid navigating the ambushes of his everyday life in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
Thirty-five naked five-year-olds face their first Swimming Lesson at the YWCA;
the class trip discovers How Things Work at the slaughterhouse;
and our perpetual neighborhood baseball game confronts the falling Fighter Pilot.

In these funny and affecting stories, Steven Henegar calls up the everyday and the
fantastic from a Mid-western boyhood.
