Confirmation that I was to follow in my father's footsteps jarred me in ways I never imagined. Since hearing the news, I awaken between 3 and 5 in the morning. Zero dark thirty is when my eyes fly open and I'm full-on aware. The words that normally tumble off my tongue now flow feverishly by pencil over a yellow-lined pad-as though I am possessed. And I write. Poetry. It is through my stepping up, speaking out, and sharing my own very personal thoughts and feelings that will emancipate the stigma attached to the growing numbers of those of us relegated to a diminishing memory. It gives purpose to feelings of less than and bolsters a roguish stubborn ruggedness in me for a worthwhile fight-to maintain dignity, honor and respect.

In her new memoir, Vignettes on Life: Reflections of a Septuagenarian, Carol Harkavy has combined her love of writing, her journal entries spanning forty-five years, and her timeless wisdom to create a book of reflections and life lessons. She invites readers to take a peek into her humor, hopes, dreams, frustrations, fears, and anxieties that are openly revealed in this no-holds-barred, coming-of-old-age memoir. The author's goal is to impress upon younger readers the importance of not being late for the dance and to encourage older readers to realize that it is never too late to follow your heart. Nelson Mandela's quote, "It always seems impossible until it's done" is a constant reminder of what we can achieve if we are determined and motivated to persevere. Self-doubt, uncertainty, and negativity are our own self-imposed enemies and must be recognized and overcome before they paralyze us in such a way that prevents us from following our passion. Vignettes on Life will not only inspire readers of all ages to follow their dreams but will also share ageless wisdom with them to help guide them through this complicated maze we call "life."

Une bande d'enfants du nord de l'État de New York vit une série d'aventures sur fond d'après-guerre.Le jeune Jerry Antil a toujours été un citadin. Aussi, lorsqu'en 1948 lui et sa famille - sa mère, son père boulanger le gros Mike et ses frères Mike et Dick - quittent la ville de Cortland, dans l'État de New York, pour s'installer à la campagne, il réalise qu'il va devoir s'adapter. Heureusement, Jerry, comme tous ceux qui ont grandi pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, est un garçon débrouillard qui sait tirer parti de n'importe quelle situation. Et grâce à son père, Jerry sait que, pour peu qu'on y prête attention, beaucoup d'aventures nous attendent, qu'importe où l'on se trouve. Avec un groupe d'enfants sur la même longueur d'ondes, Jerry forme le club de lecture de Pompey Hollow. Ils ne tardent pas à trouver l'aventure partout autour d'eux, qu'ils recherchent un groupe de voleurs entrés par effraction dans les commerces locaux ou tentent de sauver un troupeau de volailles innocentes d'une fin macabre à Thanksgiving. Se présentant comme une série d'histoires distinctes, le flux du récit ressemble davantage à un roman qu'à un recueil de nouvelles. Les personnages sont bien développés, surtout les enfants. Le style est simple mais efficace. L'humour est plus loufoque que spirituel, mais seuls les coeurs endurcis ne riront pas au moins une fois. Le roman se montre parfois un peu mielleux, mais n'en reste pas moins franc et sincère. Les passages les plus touchants décrivent la relation de Jerry avec son incroyable père, qui lui transmet un sens aigu de la morale ainsi que le goût de l'aventure. L'auteur insiste de manière convaincante sur l'idée que grandir en temps de guerre eut un effet profond sur l'attitude des enfants et leur vision des choses, leur permettant entre autres de tirer le meilleur parti de toute situation.Un récit sincère sur l'enfance à l'ombre de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
