Chronicles of Life in the Midwest provides a delightful glimpse into a boy’s experiences growing up on a livestock farm during the 1940s. Appealing to both young readers and older folks, the book centers around a diary kept by the author during his pre-teen and teenage years. The author has added commentary explaining diary entries, and he has written poetry, essays, and short stories relating to events contained in the diary. Enhanced by artwork and photographs, Chronicles of Life in the Midwest captures a view of an earlier time with charm and insight that could only be related by one who had first-hand experience.
