Kenneth Rogers Bridges turns special moments into vivid memories and then shares them in such a delightful manner that the reader feels that he or she is part of those memories. Walk with him through the decades and share his successes and his challenges, his laughter and his tears, and his transformation from the son of sharecroppers to a leading educator in North Georgia. Bridges writes appreciatively of his early years of financial struggle tempered by the love of a caring family who taught him the importance of hard work and education. He weaves subtle advice and moral values throughout his colorful narrative. But the real story is even broader and richer. It’s the story of a vanishing time that now exists primarily in the memories of those who lived in that time. Only a few can share their memories in such a way that draws others into their stories. Bridges possesses this talent. He paints a detailed word picture of the times and the environment and allows the reader to feel almost-firsthand what it was like to grow up in rural Georgia in the 1940s.
