On Jim Street

The dog days of summer become one long adventure drawn from the minds of the twelve children that play together in the vacant lot on Jim Street. Through glass menageries and war games, treasure hunts and mystery solving, the Parkers and their friends strike new pathways and develop a keen sense of awareness about the world around them.Travel back to a time when children more readily exercised imaginations, parents were deeply involved, and neighborhoods were safe. Walk in the footsteps of Janey Lynn Parker, her family, and friends as they experience childhood in 1950s Houston. Loosely based on stories from the author's own life, On Jim Street jettisons the reader to a place of safety, security, and simplistic American life during a bygone era.Weihrich, Carroll is the author of 'On Jim Street', published 2003 under ISBN 9781932621181 and ISBN 1932621180.
