Summary
Tom Turkington grew up in a small Cape cod town in mid-century, middle-class America. "Before I Forget" accurately recalls and vigorously explores those times and the author's place within them. This is far more than a narrative of a moment in history. With thoughtful insight and good-humored reflection, Mr. Turkington examines closely the events and individuals that shaped his life. What started out as a simple chronicle of memorable moments in his boyhood became an affectionately rendered tale of growing up, wherein we will find our own moments, our own histories and ourselves.
My Thoughts
Before I Forget is a wonderful book about Tom Turkington's life, from a young boy to an adult. This book is simply Tom telling his life story, his memories. There are moments of humor and just plain wonderfully average days.
I love reading books that give you glimpse into someone's life. It makes you look back on your own life and take a trip down memory lane. Thank you, Tom, for letting us peek into your 'boyhood of little drama.'
*Note: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
