Bus to Brookhaven: and Other Recollections - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

John De Haven retired from the publishing business in 2011. He should have retired 40 years earlier and taken up the writing of the stories of his life. He and we would be the richer for it. In “Bus to Brookhaven,” De Haven brings us a collection of people and experiences from what he characterizes as a “rather ordinary” life but which many others have found to be one that is often entertaining and, sometime, downright memorable. In a style that is often reminiscent of good times around the campfire, we are introduced to his remarkable family and treated to the uncommon enjoyment they experience together and find in one another. We are privileged to be cut in on his old fashioned sense of family, respect, love of family and country as well as his unusual capacity to observe and to interact with the world around him sensing the nuances of both mood and moment. De Haven’s stories are easy, almost fun, to read. All are brief. All can be read in ten minutes time. All are true. Many touch on people, places or simple moments you will recognize. None are exaggerated, embellished or otherwise improved. Few can be read without their stirring in readers warm memories of good things and good times
