An apparition of Paul A. Winder's dead father appeared to him during a difficult time in his life. Paul asked of him, "Dad, why do I have to put up with all this sh*t?" His father answered, "It's to prepare you for the long passages." These profound words became the basis for his memoirs. In The Long Passages: Paths of Self-Discovery, readers are invited to travel back to the past century, viewed through the eyes of a boy growing up in rural America. Read about the experiences that shaped his life, including farming with a team of horses as a kid, his time spent aboard iron ore freighters when he was nineteen, his career in education, and more. In addition to his own rich story, we are treated to the diverse tales of the many students whose lives he touched as a counselor. Full of colorful anecdotes and inspirational bits of wisdom gleaned from a life well lived, it's a fascinating and lighthearted read evocative of the style of Gore Vidal.
