The book, Looking Back is now available for sale.
LOOKING BACK: Boomers Remember History from the '40s to the Present has been a long journey, but today it was finally released and can be ordered directly from the publisher. For those who prefer to order through Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com, it will take anywhere from a few days to longer to be listed there, but I can assure you that ordering through Booklocker is safe since I've ordered books from them for a couple of years now and have never encountered any problems.
Looking Back is a poignant recollection of history as seen through the eyes of those who lived it, and in addition to the timeline and personal memories that I include throughout the book, it also includes 22 essays and 2 poems by contributors who recall the events that defined the lives and times of the boomer generation. There are stories of assassinations, riots, war, the counter-culture, suffering, loss, fear, and great expectations, and run the gamut from one writer who remembers the Confederacy as a backdrop to later civil rights struggles that would take place in the '50s and '60s. Other writers remember everything from World War II, segregation, the Vietnam War, September 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, and many other moments that made history. This book is told from a personal perspective, so history comes alive through these words by people who were there - who witnessed it all.
Order your copy of Looking Back by clicking on the link below the book cover image on the right side of the screen, or go to http://www.booklocker.com/books/3056.html to read an excerpt and to order. The book is 6x9 inches and 216 pages in length, paperback. Unfortunately, the cover photo to the right is distorted and I haven't figured out how to make it proportional!
I'm sure you will enjoy reading about this emotional era in history as much as I enjoyed compiling the book!
