From Zero to Puberty and Other Life Stories is a memoir collection of stories and selected examples of author, commentator and retired teacher Terry Donnelly. The book highlights the people and times from the late 1940's to today." The range of emotions reflects the seasons of a life. They flit from hilarious, to somber, to thought provoking. The author uses his "common man" status to offer "tales, confessions, and musings" as snapshots of the baby boomer generation-a generation in which we went from propeller-driven airplanes to deep space exploration, from inkwells in desks to instant, electronic communication, and from music on vinyl, through music in cyberspace, to music trending back to vinyl. From Zero to Puberty challenges readers to scribble notes in the margins, and then proceed to write your own history.
