South Jersey's Route 47 Stories (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781387955794)

This is a collection of short stories describing the author's life on a farm in the 1950s, before industrial pollution, acid rain and heavy vehicular traffic. Wildlife, editable mushrooms and wildflowers thrived. A love of family, nature and the land is readily evident. He was part of a large family that numbered from 7 to 11 at any time. His parents taught him the values of right and wrong while his grandparents taught him the strict customs of their church. They thrived on homemade products such as fresh milk, butter, eggs, hams and bacon. We see the world through his eyes while reading about his adventures and explorations. "My stories reflect my experiences, activities, written in a raw emotional detailed manner." A gripping story about ocean riptides and a life and death event in "Powerboat Racing", will keep you on the edge until the end. The author still lives on the original 10-acre farm, rises early to write his stories and enjoy another sunrise.
