Buckle up baby, 'cause you're about to take a road trip to mid-century, small town America. Whether you grew up there or wish you had, you'll feel the wind on your face as you cruise through the excitement of that time and place. Ride along with author Jeanne Looper Smith and revisit growing up in the 1950s and early '60s through the vehicle of her Joplin Globe newspaper columns. She colorfully recreates the era--the look and the feel. It's not all malt shops and memories but a realistic peek at the culture--often funny, poignant, and sobering. This isn't just a view through the rear-view mirror, so plan on a pit stop or two at the corner of Now.Put your thumb up and hitchhike along, it promises to be one cool ride.
