River of Dreams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979808760)

Time was all a country boy had . a river all he needed. A summer-day swim, tending a fishing pole or floating lazily downstream in a skiff washed away a boy's day, like rain drops on newly fallen snow. "Out behind the barn" and "barefoot in the summertime" were terms boys understood. The women's undergarment section - found in the outhouse Sears Roebuck - a boy's porno before vulgar was acceptable. A leg-switching from a tree branch of a boy's own choosing, kept him toeing the mark, and mouth-washings with lye soap kept him talking proper. COUNTRY WISDOM WAS: "If a boy doesn't have enough grit in his craw to get in trouble once in a while, he probably ain't gonna 'mount to a hill of beans."- George Warren
