Opis

You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Billy's confessions. You just have to be a little sentimental and somewhat curious. All of our lives are made up of a series of short stories, each adding to our wealth of knowledge and experiences, ultimately shaping who we are today. Some would call it - reminiscing - others just - looking back - while others might enjoy - recalling - stories from their past. We all do it. Billy, in a light hearted way shares with you his unique life experiences in Confessions of a Jewish Hillbilly. Set in the hills of Appalachia just before the outbreak of World War II, Billy's stories, other than being set in another time and in another place are perhaps not much different than stories you would recall when looking into the rear view mirror of your youth. Among the over 100 short stories in Confessions...are Stories I Never Told My Mother. If at least one story comes to mind, for you, this unique book is a must read. Be prepared to reminisce, look back and recall or just smile a lot. Confessions of a Jewish Hillbilly is an unabridged, tell-all book about Billy's first 17 years, growing up in a small West Virginia town, as seen through the eyes of a four to six year old, an eight to 10 year old, a 13 and 17 year old. Included are many fascinating stories about a grade school kid learning about life during an amazing period in our country's history: the Second World War and the post war years that followed. The story ends as Billy, the teenager, enters the mid-century modern era of the 1950s and is faced with dealing with a major event that would change his life forever.
