Dirt Road Memories - a Collection of Southern Short Stories Tom Mcdonald

The collection of stories in Dirt Road Memories will take the reader back to my boyhood dreams of playing second base for the Yankees while growing up in a small frame house inhabited by a band of siblings and extended family in the Deep South. We travel from riding my horse during my boyhood to the trials and tribulations of a shy teenage boy attending high school in the sixties in a very small rural school. I tell stories of raising pigs, encountering poisonous snakes on the front porch and hiking and camping in the Great Smoky Mountains as an adult. Hopefully, the reader will find some of the stories amusing while others may bring a few tears. I sincerely hope these stories will transport the reader back to a time when life was more carefree and innocent. -
