Legacy of a Beer Stein: Memoir of a Nostalgic Baby Boomer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662953934)

Legacy of a Beer Stein offers thirty standalone stories of four young girls (ages 4-18) growing up in the New York countryside.

The storyline begins with Julie after she inherits her family's antique beer stein. She uncovers childhood memories that provoke vivid flashbacks, revealing the secrets of her youth when she chased butterflies, provoked mischief, captured infinity, and stumbled upon astonishing revelations.

During her early childhood, the family relocates to an Upstate farm. The twins and two neighbors, the first Baby Boomers, quickly adapt to the picturesque mountain community. They "test the ice" as they meander through the many frustrations and failures of a vexing adolescence. The book ends at a party where Julie encounters a lingering paradox. She must abandon her childhood companions and leave her family behind after 18 years.

The creative memoir will enthrall many of the sixty million baby boomers who came of age in the 1950s and early 1960s.
