Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up on "the wrong side of the tracks," Daniel learned from the school of life. His memories, recounted with humor and with the clarity of age, reveal that the best tutors he ever had were the events, people, and circumstances that shaped and molded him to be what he is today.Wrong Side of the Tracks, Right Side of Life is meant to be a story, not only of himself and his family he grew up with, but it is also a story that has been repeated by numerous other families like his. "I want to show the world that this tale is about growing up anywhere in any community or society. You will see that my part in most of the mayhem was incidental and mostly innocent. Of course, I am telling this story in an unbiased way," he says.In the writing style of Mark Twain and Earl Hamner Jr., Daniel Easter takes you on a trip back in time to a simpler way of life! We see the 1950s and 1960s through the eyes of a young boy. Daniel, a distant relative of Abraham Lincoln, writes with the same common sense approach to life as did "good 'ole Abe." This is a thoroughly enjoyable jaunt through past times when life was a little simpler, a little kinder, and a lot poorer. You will laugh and cry your way through this book! -- Deborah Peyron, author and editor Miraculous Interventions book series
