John Patrick Salisbury's first book is the result of five years of reflection on his family's past. Hailing originally from an isolated farming village in northern California, Salisbury was preceded by seven generations. Family relations still live there, and Salisbury relives his past vicariously in this book through the lives of his cousins, Drew and Jimmy. What results is a poignant and moving portrait of boyhood in rural America.
