Set against mid-century southern California, aircraft carriers and Disneyland. segregated pools and Friday-night fights, this memoir-in-moments captures how memory shifts while feelings stay true. A quiet, razor-sharp father speaks most comfortably in Morse code; a drama-queen mother lifts a martini and fills the room with laughter and sparkling conversation, determined to be the center of every party; three daughters push against patriarchy; and a son observes his parents sliding toward acrimony as he grows older. Tender, wry, and unsparing, this book is a love letter to the messy facts of family and the small weather of a life that still changes us when we read it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Baldwin wrote haiku and tanka poetry in his working years as a technical writer.
