With a down-home drawl and gentle humor, Oris George transports the reader back in time Along the Back Roads of Yesterday, a new collection of tales drawn from his memories of growing up in the 30's and 40's. Suzanne Steil Retired Educator If you weren't a farm kid in the 1940's and 50's, it is not too late to correct your education, and this is just the book that can do it. Follow Oris George and his contentious friend, Henry, as they journey through life in a world where the chores are as endless as the summers, the odor of fresh baked pies sweetens the air, and a smile from a teenage carhop can lead to serious heart palpitations. Ava Betz Prowers County Historian Oris George has a deft hand for capturing his characters so clearly you'll feel you knew them for some time. Some stories will make you laugh and others may make you cry, but all of them will make you think and feel and you can't ask for more than that from any author. Earl Staggs Award-winning author
