Coming of Age in a Town That Time Forgot - Paperback

by Harold M. Kolenbrander (Author)

Born and raised in the Midwest, Harold M. Kolenbrander is the embodiment of Midwestern values. Yet coming of age in the 1940s and 50s in a small farming town was not without its excitement and, at times, danger. And for Kolenbrander, it was an environment that bred curiosity, exploration and ingenuity. In Coming of Age in a Town Time Forgot, Kolenbrander presents a series of autobiographical vignettes in which he revisits his hometown, a place he describes as a town that time forgot. While reflecting on his youth, he describes beloved pastimes as an "invincible" adolescent, recounts how his experiences shaped the man he became, and even considers the meaning of life. Kolenbrander's heartfelt memoir is a testament to the ties that bind us and a moving tribute to the profound and lasting impact of family, friendship and community.
