Raw, hilarious, and unapologetically honest-a Midwestern life story told with heart, humor, and unfiltered truth.
Born in Huntington, Indiana, in 1963, Drew Wohlford grew up in the Lime City blissfully unaware of the major historic shifts defining the nation around him. From playing in a 10 x 30 foot mobile home to childhood adventures eating dandelions, hiding from garter snakes in porta-potties, and building forts in the woods, his early years were filled with quintessential small-town charm-and a fair share of chaos.
In Bodies In The Backyard (My first 60 years), Wohlford weaves personal memory with decades of American history. With a sharp memory and a self-deprecating wit, he takes readers on a journey through:
- The 1960s & 70s: Growing up poor in small-town Indiana, childhood mischief, Boy Scout misadventures, and navigating complex family dynamics.
- The 1980s & 90s: Navigating early adulthood, eccentric jobs, working in local radio, close encounters with local fame, and the rollercoaster of young love.
- The 2000s to Present: Life in the Michiana area, navigating career shifts, becoming a grandfather, and enduring the devastating personal heartbreaks, health battles, and betrayals that tested his resilience.
Life isn't always a smooth ride, and Wohlford doesn't pull his punches. Balancing lighthearted nostalgia with deep personal tragedy, this memoir is a candid look at 60 years of surviving life's unpredictable curves.
