Coming of Age in Boston, Georgia 1938-1959

Coming of Age in Boston, Georgia is a varied collection of true stories, events, and achievements of three boys who grew up in a small, South Georgia town and the impact their experiences had on their lives. The authors grew up in the very special little town of Boston, Georgia, during the 1940s and 1950s. Over the ensuing years, these three friends exchanged many emails containing stories and exaggerations about their experiences while growing up. One day Jerry said, "Al and Keith, we should record these notes and write a book. Margaret Mead wrote the classic novel, 'Coming of Age in Samoa'. Well, Hell! We could write a classic novel of the South, 'Coming of Age in Boston, Georgia'!" At Jerry Alderman's suggestion, the three co-authors recorded their notes using Margaret Mead and Bailey White as their main inspirations. Their stories about small-town Americana are uplifting, humorous, and exhibit many of life's lessons. "Coming of Age in Boston, Georgia" is a celebration of life and friendship and recommended for all ages. This second edition corrects three factual errors in the original edition and adds an index.
