Synopsis

Recollections consists of a dozen short memoirs depicting the life of a young boy born of British parents and caught between the sophisticated worlds of his parents and the rural Wisconsin mores surrounding him in the early 40’s. Jeremy is neither a Country kid nor a City kid, just a boy stuck in the middle. It’s a tale of one-room schoolhouses, summertime baseball pick-up games and a carefree country life before television. At the age of sixty-four the author was diagnosed with permanently disabling brain tumors. To buoy his flagging spirits he chose to revisit his earlier less-troubled life giving perspective to the subsequent surgery and recovery.

About the Author

Jeremy Mitchell endured severe migraine headaches throughout much of his life. It wasn’t until a second career in public relations, following a rewarding twenty-three year run as a commercial photographer in San Francisco, that he was diagnosed with career-ending brain tumors. Following the surgery, Jeremy decided to reinvent himself as a writer. Now partially blind, he writes at ThunderCloud Farm, the Sonoma County home he shares with his wife Teri and their rescue dog Honey.
