The Lighter Side of Upper St. Clair - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Beautifully illustrated, delightfully humorous short stories from the author’s youth in the ’60s and ’70s, courtship and marriage in the ’80s, and family fun in the new century.

You'll visit a seemingly peaceful suburban community that will surprise you with unintentional body surfing, musical back-flips, classroom electrocutions, a high-speed turkey baster, peroxide poisoning, stripping cheerleaders, baseball bat tooth-removal, hot asphalt burials, street pumas, romantic trespassing, poultry pumping, hibernating bears, spiteful Frenchmen, hot oil showers, ghostly porch pirates, high-octane nylons, and legume liniments.

Proceeds from this book go to The Miracle League, where disabled children get a chance to play baseball.
