Featured in Publishers Weekly A Look Back in Time: Memoir of a Military Kid in the Fifties, Vol. I is a fascinating, insightful, inspiring, and sometimes hilarious chronicle of life while growing up in a military family - Colonel Arnold R. Goodson, US Army (Retired). Can you imagine what it was like to grow up constantly on the move, serving the country, while chasing the American Dream? A Look Back in Time: Memoir of a Military Kid in the Fifties, Vol. I is a heartfelt, humorous, and vivid journey through the eyes of Bernard N. Lee, Jr., as he reflects on his childhood in a military family during one of the most transformative decades in American history. From dusty farms to bustling army bases, young Bernard's life was shaped by three-year cycles of relocation, new schools, and the ever-present challenge of saying hello-and goodbye-to new friends. This coming-of-age story captures the joys and struggles of being a military kid, especially one growing up Black in 1950s America. Life is a series of moments - magical, challenging, and transformative. You'll share in Bernard's: - Laugh-out-loud moments-like the eternal feud with an early-rising rooster.
- Edge-of-your-seat suspense-including a near-death encounter with a military transport vehicle.
- Tender traces of young love-and the scent of perfume that lingered longer than the girl who wore it. Whether you're a history lover, a military family member, or simply someone who remembers what it felt like to be young and unsure in a changing world, this memoir will stir your heart and your memory. Take a journey through time, space, and history-buy it, read it, and discover how one boy's story may just echo the treasured memories of your own.
