Two for You, One for Me

Angebote / Angebote:

A mother and son wander aimlessly in the late 1920s through Arizona and Mexico border-town poverty, homeless, with no life direction. In the early 1930s the son, through life's happenstance of meeting one man, discovers a better way that people can live and exist in a loving family. Finally free from his mother's control, his life begins anew. Ultimately, in 1937, the state of Arizona reunites him with extended family living in Tucson. This time period and these locations provide the beginning settings for a memoir that takes the reader through this child's transition from young boyhood surviving on the streets, into early manhood, in the late 1930s, along with friends, joining the Civilian Conservation Corps, then enlisting into the U.S. Army in the Fall of 1940, with the outbreak of the second world war being stationed in Seattle, Washington, helping his antiaircraft battery defend Boeing's B-17 bomber production, then assuming new roles of a husband and father before going overseas for the invasion of Japan. After war's end he becomes a new civilian living with his wife and growing family in the city of Seattle, happily working several years for Seattle City Light. During the late 1950s when a family friend continues to encourage him to make a change to the profession of selling residential real estate, he succumbs and somewhat unknowingly chooses the opportunity. Unfourtunately, opportunities can be a wolf in sheep's clothing, as his life changing choices take him and his family down unfamiliar roads and social influences that alter the future course of all of the family's lives.
