Summary: Wonderful, Eloquent, Funny
Comment: Bob Stepto, a professo at Yale University, recalls his early youth growing up in Chicago and spending summers at a nearby lake community. He weaves his stories of the lake, school, his family and his African American community into a seamless tapestry filled with humor and warmth. Stepto is a great story teller. Don't miss it.

Summary: Charmed
Comment: When I began the book, I knew the author was a sophisticated man, a professor at Yale. As I read, I discovered the depth of his observations of his life. I was awed by his understanding of what was going on around him and his wonderful way of expressing it.

What could have been just another light little book became both easy reading and deep. It exposed something of the author's soul without being maudlin or trying to find meaning that was not there.

I enjoyed the book so much, I read it again immediately to find the parts I missed the first time.
