Discovering who we are. It’s about us in a rapidly changing America. One that has been changing and shifting as we have gone about our lives. No single story, or single person, or single location, or idea defines us. Our lives, our communities and cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories.
America has been a Mosaic of ideas, dreams, hopes, desires, communities, family, culture and places.
Today we may be in a Revolution.
We were not paying attention for a long time. I was curious what was happening to us, who were we? I didn’t recognize what I imagined we were. But I didn’t really know. I have written a book of that journey and the conversations with people i met. "BOOM! It’s a Big Country for an Old Man."
Available at BARNES & NOBLE and AMAZON and independent booksellers
