A Life of Joy is a collection of short stories packed with humor, mischief, adventure, reflection, nostalgia, and fond memories of growing up in old Santa Fe in the nineteen sixties. In Part One, a young lad named Thomas tells us about the glorious mischief he and his cohorts concocted growing up. He takes us into the terrifying world of his worst nightmares and he describes the love and kindness shown to him by complete strangers.In Part Two he takes us on an exhausting one-hundred-mile bike ride, a motorcycle journey, a hitchhiking adventure, and a long road trip in a VW Bug with his buddies. Each is filled with humorous anecdotes, unexpected challenges, useful lessons, and plenty of fun. He reflects on the tumultuous 1960s, the Vietnam War, the political assassinations, the protests and the riots. And he recalls his powerful memories of the magic of snow falling on his beloved Santa Fe.Finally, in Part Three he takes us along with him and his wife, Nancy, on a magnificent journey through coastal towns of northern California and into various state and national parks. His vivid descriptions put us right there beside them as we feel the spray of the surf, listen to the whispering giant redwoods, and peer cautiously over the edge of granite cliffs. Turn the pages and join him!
