The Life and Times of a Boy in Kentucky

The Life and Times of a Boy in Kentucky recount the real-life events of author Ed Roulette's early life from the age of three to age nineteen, when he joined the United States Air Force. His vivid recollections capture the essence of what it was like growing up in Kentucky from the mid-1940s to early 1960s and include the family and friends that surrounded him.

Adult readers from middle age on up will be filled with nostalgia and renewed childlike wonder when they read about young Ed making an abandoned house into a clubhouse and about his finding instructions in his grandfather's diary about an Indian mound with artifacts and then digging for hours in that spot and never finding it. And those readers who grew up in Kentucky will especially relate to the horror and the danger when they read about Ed's stepfather saving an unsuspecting neighbor from an encounter with a copperhead snake.

These are only a few of the highlights in this vibrant trip down memory lane. You don't want to miss the rest! This young boy certainly lived a full life before the age of nineteen!
