Never before have the simpler, innocent times of
America’s past been put so wonderfully into words. Jan
Huntsinger, in her friendly, conversationalist style of
writing, invites us to join her as she takes us back to the
times of her youth in nineteen fifties Independence,
Missouri. You’ll be there as she relives all the fun, simple
pleasures that made growing up in that era so
memorable. Be it chasing after the ice cream truck;
family trips to the Grand Canyon; weeding out
dandelions in the back yard; the trials and tribulations of
grade school and high school; or even mastering the
awkwardness of ballroom dancing, Jan recalls it all with
nostalgic fondness and laughter, making the reader feel a
part of her treasured childhood. This is the kind of book
to not only be read for your own pleasure, but a
keepsake to pass along to your children and friends, to
show them what life was like for children and teens in
post-war America, and how the simplest things in life
can be the most rewarding.
