The Sounds at River’s Edge: True Stories of Growing Up on the Intracoastal Waterway

by Bobbie J. Mclaren

STORY SYNOPSIS

In a time before fast food, microwave ovens and home videos; there existed a world where adventure was as close as your next thought. Entertainment wasn’t where you go or how much you spent, but what you did. Playing outside was the normal for most children, in fact to stay “in the house” was sheer punishment. Being grounded usually meant no television or use of the telephone.

These are stories of a very imaginative child and the love of a father. In a world that seemed to move more slowly and a time when history changed on a daily basis as never before in the twentieth century, with joy and sorrows, tears and laughter. “The Sounds at River’s Edge” is viewed from the eyes of a child spanning only four years, but what years they were! It’s a wonder any of us survived.

Reviews:

This is a memoir of a young girl packed with adventure and pranks from her childhood. There are several instances in the book where some stories took me back to my childhood. My dad too had a collection of cigarette lighters some made of brass some, gold plated without fuel so when rolled with the thumb the sparks would fascinate me. This book kept me hooked till the end.
