Book Description
We latchkey kids never understood how much our parents gave up for us. Other than a holiday trip to the city, their urban day jobs were a mystery to us. We grew up off of potato fields, and woodlands, rolling pastures and apple farms, where our childhood adventures played out. Unchaperoned, we ran wild under those suburban skies.

Book Description
Just Messing Around is a zany rollercoaster ride through a latchkey child’s world of antics and misadventures, laughter and fisticuffs, skirting problems, and hatching wacky schemes. The author, like so many of his generation, lived an unsupervised childhood that characterized many suburban Long Island communities of the early 60s. Absent parents, these kids ran wild in their rural, suburban world. They saw themselves as frontiersmen, daredevils, and self-confessed hellions. These children were also alone way too much, sometimes frightened, and in serious need of discipline and hugs. This heartwarming collection of stories, seen through the eyes of one kid, depicts their lives of roaming fields and woods, surviving their daily, madcap adventures, exploring haunted farmhouses, and, as we kids would say, just messing around.

Book Description
The biggest Depression in the whole-wide world hanging over the horizon, the nightmare of war a threat from over the waters, the scattering of a family on the death of a good and true father, the harsh working conditions of the hot Texas cotton-patch, the terrors of school-yard bullies for a fatherless kid, so how's a kid coming of age in 1940's Texas going to learn life's lessons and have some fun? Follow these adventures of a young but not-quite wimpy Leon and his red-haired scrappy cousin, Melvin Junior, and discover against the back-drop of adult faults and blunders a lively tale of innocence lost the hard way and true courage earned in the tough comedy of kids growing up country style.

The girl has spent the first part of her childhood with two loving but unstable parents. The inevitable happens all at once and the girl spends the rest of her childhood in her Mom's old Brooklyn neighborhood that's in the middle of a mafia power struggle. The girl makes friends with kids in situations as bad as, or more disturbing than hers. It's a historical novel that chronicles the events that have led to the present state of affairs in the inner cities. Riots, blackouts, fires, drugs, sexual predation of unprotected minors, inequities in schools, and literally institutional racism through personal experience and much dry humor.
