Description

"As I Remember: A 1940s Childhood" is a delightful vignette of a home front during and just after World War II. Gordon Chism has captured the texture of American pride and optimism of this time through the eyes of a young boy growing up in Reno, Nevada. The war had united all in a common cause with a sense of duty and a love of country. The triumph over evil created a righteous sense of entitlement -- an idealistic American self-portrait. From the anxiety brought on by the depression through the surging prosperity of the late 1940s, this autobiographical narrative reflects the feelings of confidence, trust, and security experienced in the author's hometown.

Author Biography:

Gordon Chism was raised in the western high desert by a loving middle-class family. Over the years, he earned a living as a builder and sculptor, and now as a writer. His third published book, The Thinking Person's UFO Book, was awarded a 2009 IPPY Bronze medal and was a finalist in the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. He now lives in a majestic small town on the northern California coast.
