by Timothy Cotton (Author)
Heartwarming Stories of Simpler Times, Neighborly Bonds, and Timeless Friendships
In his new collection, acclaimed storyteller Tim Cotton waxes nostalgic. These are feel-good stories of simpler times, when folks got along with their neighbors and helped out a stranger who needed it, when kids played outside all day and drank from the hose when they were thirsty; when a smile and a wave were the only social graces needed. In these essays readers will rediscover summer through the sounds of screen doors, bond with fathers over classic cars; meet new friends and make friends out of old enemies. As inviting as a warm donut and a fresh cup of coffee, Tim's relaxed style will make readers feel they are chatting with him in the dooryard.
