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 for sale 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 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 boomers. There are stories of assassinations, riots, war, the counter-culture, suffering, loss, fear, and great expectations, and run the gamut from one that remembers the Confederacy as a backdrop to later civil rights struggles that would take place in the '50s and '60s, to September 11, 2001, then to Hurricane Katrina. This book is history 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 left side of 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 left 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!
