Life growing up in a trailer park in the 50’s and 60’s was very interesting to say the least. This book contains several stories from this Baby Boomer’s experiences living in the Trailerhood.

This book contains stories recounting both the good and not so good memories of a youth growing up in the 50's and 60's in a trailer park located in central Connecticut. The book started out being a collection of stories from the author's memory while growing up in the Trailerhood during a time with the Cold War engulfing America, racial inequality running rampant, the assassination of key leaders of the day, an unpopular war being waged in Asia, as well as violent student unrest. The book morphed into a memoir. Take a journey with the author as he moves from his little home on the coast of Maine to the Trailerhood and the life experiences he encountered as he grew up until he married the love of his life and left the Trailerhood  at eighteen years old. The book is a trip down memory lane for many of today's adults.



Excerpt

With apologies to any readers expecting an illustrious description of a happy place where children sang and played, parents raised perfect families, church was the focal point of Sunday, and the ice cream man handed out free treats with a big smile. I had the best intentions of capturing many grand memories of growing up in the 50’s and 60’s in a small town in central Connecticut, but life got in the way and this book morphed into a memoir encompassing both the good and the not so good.
