Time Of Our Lives: The Story Of My Father And Myself is a memoir written by Orrick Johns. The book chronicles the life of the author and his father, from their early years in rural Missouri to their eventual move to Chicago. The narrative is a blend of personal anecdotes, family history, and social commentary, as Johns reflects on the challenges and triumphs of growing up in the early 20th century. The author's father, a hardworking farmer, instilled in his son a sense of discipline and determination that would serve him well throughout his life. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including poverty and discrimination, Johns was able to achieve success as a writer and artist. Through the lens of his own experiences, Johns also explores larger themes such as race, class, and gender, offering a unique perspective on the social and cultural landscape of America during his lifetime. Time Of Our Lives is a moving and insightful memoir that offers a glimpse into the lives of two remarkable individuals and the world they inhabited. It is a testament to the enduring power of family, perseverance, and the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
