Remember the slap of a screen door behind you, the smell of fresh-cut grass, and the thrill of Saturday night at the drive-in?
When We Knew Every Neighbor brings together 30 warm, funny, and tender short stories inspired by everyday American life in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
Meet the shy soda jerk at an Ohio fountain, a family gathered around the first television on a Philadelphia street, neighbors listening in on a Kansas party line, and a father who drives across New Mexico rather than admit he needs directions.

Some stories will make you laugh. Others may bring a lump to your throat. Many follow people who are older now, looking back on the moments that shaped them-or discovering that the past can still find its way into the present. A few familiar faces return as the collection unfolds.
Each story is complete in one sitting, making this a gentle collection to enjoy one story at a time.
Inside this collection:
For anyone who remembers when neighbors knew one another, summer evenings seemed longer, and the little moments became the stories we kept.
