Web Link Don Tassone's GET BACK: Reviews

Get Back--to the joys of boyhood.  When I learned that Get Back is a first published book by Don Tassone, my question was, "Why did he wait so long?" Get Back is a heart-warming account of life! While it focuses on events in the lives of young boys, it's great reading for anyone who has ever been a boy, raised a boy, loved a boy, or was a tomboy. Get Back reveals the positive side of the phrase, "Boys will be boys." I forced myself to slow down as I read the twelve stories because I wanted to savor the truth and delight embedded in each of them.

Get Back could be a stimulating conversation starter for dads and sons, grandpas and grandsons, mentors and boys. Read a story and see where it leads the conversation about events and escapades in one's own life. If girls/women as moms, sisters, girlfriends read Get Back, they will gain a greater understand of young guys. I'm planning on Get Back as a Father's Day gift....maybe Mother's Day, too Thank you, Don Tassone!  ---patti normile  5 stars out of 5 stars

Web Link Nancy Minor's MALHEUR AUGUST: a visual aid from THE ATLANTIC

In July 2017, THE ATLANTIC republished its 1941 profile of Vale, Oregon's Independence Day festivities--a treasure trove of photos by Russell Lee, one of the great photographers of the FSA.  Like his colleagues Dorothea Lange and Gordon Parks, Lee documented everyday Americans of the 1930s and 40s--from kids raising cows to former slaves facing discrimination, to Japanese Americans being sent to internment camps, to coal miners working deep underground.  The Vale, Oregon series is a near-perfect introduction to the look and feel of Nancy Minor's 1940s characters in MALHEUR AUGUST.
