Cracking An Egg: Childhood Stories - Paperback

by Andy Becker (Author)

"In this charming compilation of vignettes, Andy Becker shares belly-laugh stories about growing up in the 50s and 60s. With a keen sense of irony he describes fond and not-so-fond memories: fishing with his Mom, Dad and siblings when smothered by mosquitoes; Thanksgiving Day when relatives squirted each other in the eye with lemons; and the annual Seder, when Andy studied rigorously to memorize all his lines. Becker includes fascinating scenes, such as when his grandfather, the owner of an upholstery factory, brought coffee and donuts to the workers who were all striking against him. A delight for readers of all ages, this engaging collection is not to be missed." -- E.C. Murray, Founder, Writersconnection.org

"Follow the adventures, mishaps and tribulations of a boy growing up in suburban America in the 60s. You will laugh, tear up, and sigh with nostalgia as you recall the days of playing with little green soldiers, jumping hedges, and going to the neighborhood bakery with Mom. This heartwarming book humorously recounts memories guaranteed to remind you of your own childhood." -- Kerry Stevens, author of Blood Ties
