Description

Compilation of three of John E. Jordan Jr's books. Ted! It's Too Close to Sunday!, Front Porch Talk, and On Angel Wings are a collection of true stories of a boy growing up in the southern coalfields of West Virginia in the 50s and 60s. The tales, told firsthand by a grown-up Johnny reflecting on his boyhood adventures, feature his mom, who has more than her hands full, his adventurous and fun-loving dad, his humorously ultra-religious grandma, his playfully mischievous grandpa, and, of course, the rascally inquisitive and energetic Johnny, whose many early-life adventures give the reader a glimpse into another time, another place. A place and time where no one locks their doors, church congregants are referred to as "Sister" and "Brother," the community has one phone, and fried chicken is a main staple. A time of gardening, farming, floods, canning, hunting, industrial change, "company towns", bootlegging, two-room schoolhouses, fishing, family visits, Sunday church, funeral wakes, quilting, harsh winters- and when fried chicken and bacon were good for you. The stories are rich in detail, giving the reader a glimpse into this by-gone world and revealing the humor hiding around every turn.
