Growing Up Tough

A couple years ago I wrote a novel based on the stories my father used to tell about growing up in the small coal mining town of Price, Utah. This was during the 1920s and 30s and Price in those days had not quite made the transition from the Wild West to the 20th Century. Add to that Prohibition, the Great Depression, ethnic conflicts between varying immigrant groups, and the brief rise of the KKK . . . well, it was quite the time to be a young boy.

Reviews at Readers’ Favorite include these comments: “I enjoyed this read immensely and can highly recommend it. . . touching and engaging . . . crisp detail . . . personal and enthralling . . . touching upon some vital social issues still relevant today . . . (a) coming-of-age story that you can’t help but love. Highly recommended.”
