Pictures Through the Rearview Mirror

Every experience could be narrated like a story. The most ordinary moments become extraordinary, and the unfamiliar people become some of the closest acquaintances whose friendship is to be cherished. These are stories from one familys first journey from Calcutta, India, to the brief years spent in a small town in America.

Pictures Through the Rearview Mirror is an album of some memorable moments a family experienced while living in a small town in America in the years 19671970. The stories portray the familys acquaintance to a new kind of life and a community of unique people they met and lived with. It was the beginning of an interesting acculturation with the people and the place. The stories reflect the familys own experiences; they may not be what others experienced in those years. The stories were created from recollections of moments orally narrated from jottings made in journals, and enhanced through fictional characteristics.
