Outskirts Press, INC.

In an idyllic New England town, peace and tranquility for one family are harshly broken. The author is a witness. In the book, this incident is painfully real. The story around that moment is fiction with references to historical places and times.

Readsville in Vermont becomes the endearing country homestead for the fictional Barlow family with roots in Canada and the United States. Four generations intersect with U.S. history: Pearl Harbor; Japanese American Incarceration; Oregon’s WW II shipyards; Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Vietnam riots; and conscientious objectors. Just and unjust actions affected countless lives in these historic places that must not be forgotten. The good and bad, happy and sad, challenge everyone. Love gained, love lost, births and deaths are universal. Join the Barlows as they make their way through history. Feel their pain and rejoice with them during the good times.
