Sobre IBD

In the summer of 1940, the gods of war were wreaking havoc on the wretched populations of Europe and Asia. But here in the United States, the north central San Joaquin Valley of California with its sprawling vineyards, orchards, and open fields provided an idyllic greenhouse for a hardy foursome of eight-year-old boys. For a brief, blessed patch of time the events of their days would trip one upon the other, free of precedent and full of adventure. Meanwhile, the relentless events of the unfolding decade would create the tableau of their future. Their rite of passage into manhood would be upon them soon enough. Also by Robert M. Bersi: 'Jack and Jill: The Voyage' 'Jack and Jill' 'Silver Mountain' 'Armed and Abandoned' 'Mount Parnassus' 'Raising Margaret Ann' 'Thus Entwined' 'Shaping our Environment' 'Restructuring the Baccalaureate' 'Think Partnership' 'A Short History of Philanthropy in America'
