A Boy's Life with Older Sisters (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Uplifting, heartwarming stories of an inquisitive boy trying to understand his three older sisters.

In these stories, Dennis is ten when Grandpapa comes to stay. The elder is in hospice, and Dennis thought his antics are a great irritation on his sisters. At eleven-years-old, Dennis is not good at helping Papa fix the rototiller. Instead, he explores his sisters' bedroom while they are away, trying to understand these people. The next year, Dennis learns to stay off the middle school honor roll to avoid attention. Yet, he gets too much attention when he plays in an after school, flag football game.

When he is in junior high, the family moves to a farm and Papa buys a Holstein cow Dennis names Shelf Life. Milking the old cow is therapy, helping him adjust to his new school. Until she must be euthanized. Dennis gets over his grief when Papa brings Shelf Life's calf, Mary, to the farm.

In December of his last year of junior high, Papa takes Dennis to a farm to slaughter a hog. Papa wanted to share his boyhood experience with his son and Dennis was glad for the sharing. It helped him consider being a vegetarian.

After college, Dennis stays home taking care of Mary. Until one of his sisters introduces him to Helen.

Autorenporträt

If you want to read the same plot as on the bestseller lists, do not buy my novels. Also, do not buy my novels if you like authors who command ChatGPT to write their story. Do read my novels if you want something written by a human. I strive for believable characters within a peacefully unique and suspenseful plot.

I am an author who narrows the serious, widens the absurd, and tries to satire everything else with a dab of humor.

After a childhood on a Virginia dairy farm, I eventually worked in the Pentagon for several decades. This gave me the qualifications to write fiction. I escaped the politics and moved to New Bern, North Carolina. I host a creative writing class at the library and volunteer with non-profits.

Almost thirty magazines have published my short stories and I have published several novels that I enjoy reading. I hope you do, too. More are coming.
