Growing Up With My Best Friend

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 1950s 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 backyard, 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.
