Vetsch’s honest and creative stories brought me back to a much different time in our country. What a treat to read the creative renditions of his memories. There is much in these stories to which all of us can relate as human beings.

Ah, and just like that, the past slithers back in. Bringing on flashbacks and the PTSD I had once forgotten.
