Don Baker has an uncanny knack for transporting readers/audiences to a particular time and place. Here he takes us to 1950 America and, not unusual for the era, a father-son chat about cars, beer, and girls. But as the topic of conversation shifts to the son’s best friend, father and son connect on a deeper level of understanding, perhaps in a way that would not have come easily in that era or even today for that matter. Heartwarming and hopeful, and some of Baker’s best, most beautiful writing. That’s saying something! Please read!
